ZONE POETICA

THAT DAY WILL BE MY LAST

Whenever I lose the urge
For living and life
When the zest of each day
Escapes from between my fingers
Like the final solemn offerings
On a darkened night

When I can no longer
See the wood for the trees
And mind’s eye is dream-blind

When I cease to enjoy
The simplicities of every moment
Weighing them by the
Yardstick of burdened expectations

When penning down boundless thoughts
Lead to an imprisoned existence

When I commence that slide,
Into the intractable cycle of numbness
I WANT THAT DAY TO BE MY LAST
