All Comments on '"The Afters..."'

Another poet's view on the passing of life,

the losses, the passing bys, the letting goes.

The ending says it all:

"You don't hear yourself cry,

don't see the inside die,

don't notice your own cold eyes -

just all the others."

You might want to rethink the "geek" line.

It's been quite sometime since I read anything new from you. I have missed what comes from your mind. I was bitten and then left, sigh.

Another spirit dies;

A soul's fires flame-out

Leaving cold, hard embers

And a hollow living shell,

Humanity's zombie.

The age old battle of man against the loneliness - the rejections - taking leave of family and friends he goes - who knows where - where he'll end up - nobody knows. Tragically sad.
