Procrastination
Frustration
The death of a nation
Of words
The death of inspiration
Of thought
Or is it?
Does waiting till the last
Moment
Bring to light the end of
Torment
Where words and thought and
Meaning
Can be experienced and sensed
With feeling
In a rush of rhyming

Devotion
To words, phases, rhymes, places
To thought caught between
Metaphor and reality
Simile and imagery
To decide if we should define
Or create
A moment
Of smooth rolling syllables
Or harsh chunky fragments
Of life
Life that so easily gives way
To death
Death being the end or unknown
The unknown being what the
Artist or poet
Longs to capture
But the end
The end being a stopping point
A cessation
A death of a breath of vocalization
The end being
