Two poems

being alive
Breathing,
loving,
dying.
Pain,
hurt,
agony.
Death.
Despair.
Greasy stains on table clothing.
Bloody splashes stipple whitish sheet.
Darkness scratches me with talons fierce
and I relish red pulsing and flowing and beating.
Dance.
Death.
Eyes open
then widely shut.

new
This sliver of a moon
shines brightly from its cradle.
Tomorrow, it will be new
and it will be gone,
and the sky will be dark.
Maybe one of these days
it will forget to come back.
