Inevitability


We are the paint peel chipping.
Dangling over the prickly
bushes.
Waiting with an eye
toward falling.
I wonder who I will be
when I am cut and
bleeding—
I wonder who I will be
when I have
given up.

It is like the blanking of
a color screen.
The bleaching of forest
green carpeting.
Hold my hand for just
a little while--
we are moving
and fading
on and on.
