a TCM poem

It follows

Always there

Never leaving

Never blinking

The smell

That glistens

In the mind

Like decay

Of the kind

It shows the path

That it took

So I know not to look

The sight of it

Just pulsing shadows

In the dark

The taste

It has none

Only that of your fear

Trained ears

Can’t hear it

It moves too silent

Don’t even try

To hurt it

Nothing

Can touch it

It embraces you

With open arms

Like a long lost sibling

No sense in hunting it

It can sense you

No sense in hiding

It always finds you

Always searching

Always coming

Never too late

To accept

Death
