Forged jigsaw puzzle
force fitted incomplete.
Time wasted equals life’s
opportune moments flushed.
Fresh down sewer drain.
Post-mortem life story
holds no credit gain?
Lights’ journey void
violates inspired thought.
Is hollow shell husk.
A meaningless play?
Life’s purpose
wasn’t destined.
To dissolve effaced
on fragmented stage.
Words of power hold

Old venerated artists gone
beyond tearful curtain rain.
Vulnerable
newborn artists need
wakeful tears.
To block heightened pain.
