Afterlife
before Christ
what is it I’ve been
doing with my time
rewind
speed ahead
why is it I’ve been
losing all my mind
upset
unsettled
never at rest, a hole
always left in pieces
regret
no reset
wondering what could be
what hasn’t happened yet
unclear
when end is near
allotment of time
is not equally distributed
wondering the weight
of worry
how to measure
the stone on chest
how to receive
the wish
before
the breath
how to alleviate
the pain
wrapped around
the gift
