Wink

Wink

By C. Derick Miller

5/20/21

Journey’s end

That relieving deep breath before death’s release

The ease of farewell

You know not where I dwell

Is it indeed journey’s end

Or chaotic regrouping for what comes next?

Rest stop inventory?

True missions on the uncharted plane

Life was nothing but

Prep course

Practice

A joke, tasteless and painful

Friction, fluids, and feedings

Wrapped with bows

Fake gods

Convenient laws

Control where none was ever truly needed

Fear of chaos

Wink.
