Lingering in Oblivion

Last forgotten memory
still lingers in an icy fog,
waiting
screaming
in isolation.

Summer’s joys frosty and
frozen as the final tick
of time is silenced.

The comic story devoid
of funny humor,
sits poised awaiting
the punch line

Pursuits of a lifetime
fabulous and frivolous
who’s purpose crumbles away
from under them.

Oblivion’s fugitive
lost in fast forward as
memories blend into
taffy.

Wondering
as consciousness fades –

if some karmic debts
can ever be paid.
