Last Call
Scentless flowers
Tasteless buds
A bad itchy scratchy dream
That I can't wake up from.
Sleepless nights
Breathless days
Mouths propped open
Grasping for air.
No respite tonight
Forget redemption
Until tomorrow
Hot days merge into
Windy nights
Fanning into fires
Our never-ending desires
This emergency
Is a last call to all
Exercise your agency
For once, for all
And this once for good
And yes,
For life!
