Inevitability
Shaking hands,
slipping grains of sand.
Ebb and flow.
Grey matter,
it's capacity to glow.
Spiced patina of cracks,
times pictures,
fading Kodak snaps.
Weakened, grasp for future.
The menu serving,
Alzheimer's and dementia.
The gap to death, unnerving
shrinking, soon to sutuer.
Inevitability to import.
the needs placenta.
Sprout wings while soles will singe.
