NaPoWriMo 2016, Day 9

19 Replies

Today, we were challenged  to write a poem that includes a line that we are afraid to write. This is mine:

PA260048

Temporal

I am going to die.
That thing in me that talks to me
as well as the part who talks back
will be lost to posterity.
How sad that they have no names.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    We do not, for sure. I hope the voices stay, that we, ourselves stay.
    You described a very relatable, haunting fear, and I am sorry I have to spoil the moment, but you look so gorgeous in this photograph!

    Shocking then funny. Yup, I’m gonna die too one day. We’re all dying and we’re all extinct because no two person is ever the same.
