When the curtains close
the looking glass
fails the looker-on
in sparkle.
The bedazzlement
of vigor and zest
denatured in to
charley horse frozen
on limbs and face.
Mouth but a mask
drained from the face,
dignitary gone
into dissolution.
The peeper pies dry
and devoid of identity,
a platter of tart
eaten empty.
No more breath,
you are gone;
this is death.

No more breath, you are gone;this is death
