Mortality
by Debra Rose (Age: 23)
copyright 06-07-2008


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Mortality
hanging sweet, pungent;
the molasses of time dripping,
ticking,
slipping,
thickly moving by in
hospital rooms and beeps
--beep, beep, beeping--
of heart monitors.
Radiation therapy,
hair loss, weight loss, hope-loss,
dream loss, life lost,
but not
lost in the loved ones minds.
Lips pressed,
dry,
distressed,
mortality slipping,
dripping,
dripping,
ticking,
beeping,
slowly
by.
Mother bird withers,
twitches,
her flock frozen,
land locked,
wings stiff
helpless as she seems to
plummet
down,
down,
down,
from the sky.
Mortality slipping,
beeping,
falling,
crawling by.
Listen to the baby birds cry.

A total experience in pain and grief, yet so beautifully done. Once, when I was in hospital in the intensive care unit, a man died on the bed next to me. One moment there, the next moment gone, then staff from all over, doing whatever it is they do. I hope somebody cried for him. I was just hoping I wasn't going to be next as I had pneumonia and wasn't doing too well myself--I'd stopped breathing once. THAT is scary! Once again a wonderful job. Nice hearing from you.

It is your voice, a gift, so perfect in images and sound, I hope all is okey, the write is a perfect presentation, a share that will stay for a long time.. Walt

The duality of this write is almost palpable. As are the images, the emotions, and the metaphors. For those who have experienced some of these things, this write will probably open many old wounds with the memories of friends and lovers gone by. For those who haven't, after reading this, they will have been brought as closely to the actuality as possible.

I can't offer this writing a greater compliment than that.

Frank :)
