let me not
feel it gnawing
the days
upon weeks
eating
my expiration date
closer always closer
while
i write
again always again

let me not not not
blink
and lose an hour
sigh
and lose a day

let me not
choke on this
knot
tied noose
around my blues

to claim
weeks rolling
from not to not

i do not
i dare not
try not care not

let me not
live by not

Sigh and lose a day...

Not a not, but not not... and whatnot.

I'm going to be careful not to sigh today!

'not' bad LOL

Loved the repetition, really forced the meaning across.

Great job, hon. ;-)
