This World

A Diminished Hexaverse Poem by Chris Bunton


This world screams at you.
“Your birth insults me,
and I will break you.
Feel time slip away,
And your loves destroyed.”

“I never stop.
Relentless Time.
Hounding your mind.
Slaving to eat.”

“Crushing you.
Twisting you.
Molding you.”

“Until
You Are.”

“Dead”
