Terminal Poem by Sheena Blackhall

Terminal



A bobbing cork, he lives a storm of days
No battle-charge could ever be as cruel
As wakening up to his realities
Helpless as winter cabbage, human fuel
For parasitic pain to chew upon
He is the ruin of a mortal man

All honour to his fight. He will flat line
With slow paralysis, that cumber band
That tightens, spreads, enshrouds him like a cape
A living coffin, voice drool, mouth agape
