Slow Crawl to Death
The years of youth are
full of low hanging fruit.
We are pampered royals.
Easy nothing is absolute.
I chased my tail forever
looking for a perfect lover
I grew old in dog years
and started raining tears.
Moon and sun wear me down
Time is a wicked assassin
I make a slow crawl to death
arrive with my final breath.
