Photographs of the End
Photographs of the end;
the process;
despair,
dissolution
and defeat.
The point of jumping
off the ledge,
the want to not
see things when they are complete.
The girl, not young,
yet no one would
be so bold
as to call her
a woman yet
has taken the initiative.
She is what could have become
of all of us if we had
courage
to face what we had seen.
For her it was a matter,
rather simple, not based
on principle,
or conceits.
Taking what was left
in her frail arms
she exiled herself
to the mountains
conscious of what was not to be.
Taking a seat upon
the ledge,
looking down
there was no reason
to push for victory
in the cesspool.
