: The Vigil by Lea Tonin1
Halloween Poetry contest entry

Sitting death a corpse of times loss in drips

"I'll wait" she said in eons voice while zealots rage

His source of pride lay as dust once adorned

Pendulums swing marking time dresses in rust
 
 
Her echo of words speaks in his mind's hollow
 
Soon the decay will banish her to tumble
 
The bend of limbs absent flesh to move
 
The signs of sanity melt the madness of his face
 
 
This shining vigil remains on a promise of return
 
His decrepit chair and spinal pour becomes one
 
The morass of synapse dissolves her face.
 
Banished the last of a believed memory
 
 
Halloweens gestures come and go in spectres
 
Why do I remain? The question roars
 
Last command with thoughts to leave results...
 
...in a quiet elbows creak
