Requiem
Th
e explosion
back then, vivid image forever
stilled on his retina
bodies scattered in the scrapes
pieces of sky tumbling
fogged flash of light
eyes flooded my moment’s end
darkness awaited
to capture absolution
his arm raised the knife
that came down fiercely
violating flesh
fogged darkness flooding
in and out of his psyche
once twice thrice
thesis antithesis synthesis
now a tear flows down silently
slowly repeating the end concept
darkness, darkness, darkness
