18th birthday

No feeling worse than perceiving

Death’s impeding imminence

In the o’er sharp list of a once-Titan’s keel.

Waving goodbye to your mother and sister for the last time,

Knowing it’s the last time.

A bellyful of birthday cake, and his first ever sip of wine.

One response to “18th birthday”

  1. Knowing it’s the last time…sometimes not knowing…
