Alone and Bored




Oasis of light,
in night's soft embrace,
Island of vision,
surrounded by obscurity,
Alone and bored,
with no one near.

Silver flash,
reflecting light,
Burning slash,
of stainless steal truth,
Biting metal,
dead life.

Red swells,
staining pink soil,
Proof of life,
in stinging pain,
Cat that claws,
only itself.

A flick of the wrist,
it's put away,
Fade into sleep,
wait 'til I'm alone and bored again.
