She's Gone by Mark R. Slaughter

Eyes bemused –

A disconnect

Dermal swathes of young and old

Reject the guessing of your age

You’re blind –

A blueprint for blankness

Your dreaming pipes through nothingness –

Are you still afloat? – atop the oceans, 

Heaving, heavy over Hell, 

Boiling, spoiling in a mind that couldn’t cope.

Ah! but Death smiles 

And so do you

Kissing Him

Is all to do!
