Leave Me to Die
Leave me to die,
Listening to what is here
Right now—this moment.
Leave me to die
Into the rain
Pounding on the pavement
Of my past,
Making puddles of my memories.
Leave me to splash and play
Through each soggy story,
Soaking them up
And wringing them out
Of every pore.
Leave them to die
On the breath of Truth
Until the muddied visions
Return to dust.
