Discarded One

Discarded One

Abandoned despot,

Living in a garbage can,

Wonders where his life has gone.

Used to be someone

Worthy of being counted,

But now… just soiled refuse.

Dying in a Dream

Dying in a Dream

I lie on the simmering asphalt.

Warm vitality drips unsympathetically 

From this mortal piercing

And coldness lazily oozes over me

Like the slow trickle of melting ice.

I lie, the observer of a still-life portrait;

Of houses, of hills, of sunset…

I can see them all,

Falling further and further

Beyond my grasp; becoming unfocused.

I lie and wait for the grim finale…

When existence fades to black.
