4 Lights

4 Lights

A Poem by Matthew Bass

The threads of my existence 
wilt like an aging flower, 
only 118 days more 
for 8 years come to an end. 
  
A ragged blue hoodie 
a sixth sense, and 
an empty core dense with life 
pull me to the falling sunset 
rising under the horizon. 
  
I do not dare dream 
of eternal heaven(hell) 
nor look beyond 
the warm hands and soft kisses 
of my narrow vision. 
  
I see onward 
with eyes eroded 
by shrill headwinds 
screaming in hypocricy 
and contradiction. 
  
I see beauty bursting 
from faded patches of watercolor 
piercing through the facade 
in breathtaking ugliness. 
  
Final breaths 
before it befalls 
in eternal sleep.
