Surreal
It catches up with you
at weird times
when you're thinking end thoughts.
How many more times
will we eat this together?
Surreal.
My life is a Dali print---
and I always hated Dali.
I look at your smile
and wonder how could you possibly---
but then you don't know
that the patient is on life support,
and that what is coming
is not so much a murder,
as a mercy killing.
I never wanted the bright shining to die---
but watching it leave
an inch at a time
is more than this heart
can possibly bear.
