Last Words Poem by Susan Williams
Last Words
.

see the technologists wearing yellow gowns, gloves, and masks
examining
the leftovers of our violence
seeing
fleeting
glimpses
of something not meant for eyes or ears
or the spirit inside us
whispering about eternity
while the clock is ticking
I can't hear what people are saying
but they can't hear me either
so what difference does it make
if you seek me and find me
or if you don't
the clock is ticking
either way
my presence has been hit and miss lately
I am toxic
I am losing interest
even with music dancing on the breeze
singing amid the leaves
a song known as the order of the seasons
the clock is ticking so loudly now
I can't hear what people are saying
and they can't hear me either
but I can hear the holy heartbeat abound
above the sounds of our earthly battleground
I can see the holy heartbeat abound
in the trees silvered with moonlight
yet there is no day and neither is there night
the clock is ticking for each of us
see the technologists wearing yellow gowns, gloves, and masks
