Endurance

[Delta40]

trickling out of this world
bone by fractured bone
strapped into a hospice bed
The dementia fuddled clone

She pisses without thinking
infected burning holes
curses fouler than the stinking
As she leaks away her soul

'hold my hand' she sighs
'I promise to be good, she lies
'don't leave, whoever you be'

she cries

Epitomized and imagery poems in point of fact. I like such enigmatic poems

Hi Delta. Man, what a vivid exposé of that which we all fear... Withering away. Very moving!

[MorpheusSandman]

Not a pleasant one, but very powerful. Those are some heartbreaking final lines.

I'm inspired by a friend. Thank you.
