Dying Light - May 25, 2000

In this dying light
there is one last effort
- futile as it may be,
to grasp for some semblance
of sanity.

And as the final finger releases,
the indrawn breath
is let go
and we proceed
once more,
blithely ignoring
the subtle desire
for some control.

And I sit watching -
the nuances of ice cold
having already lost
their chilling effect
on a frozen soul.
