Portfolio Poem #1: Not Ready

[synapticjava]

Not Ready
Point of entry:
            Gaping, bare, slick.

Course:
            Veins, heart, lungs, liver,
                        Cells.
 
Coma, flu, ambulance, tears,failed cocktail.
Closed casket, shamefulwhispers.
            Did you know?
            So young.
            So stupid.
            So easy these days.
 
Who knew?
            It’s always the one you never suspected.
            Always happens when you feel the safest.
 
Lesions, thrush, blood,shit.
            Embarrassed sobs alone in the ICU.
            Not ready, not ready, not ready.
            Too young,
                        Too stupid.
 
So pale.
Nothing’s left
            Skin and bones.
Fine a year ago,
And now there’s nothing.
            Not long left.
            No one will visit anymore.
                        Cries all the time.
 

Not ready.

Very emotional, very powerful. Very well done sweetie.

*hugs* Stay safe okay? From allergies and all the other things that have you so rightfully scared.
