Poems about fear

To be choked by the wrong things
Selling souls,
selling loves,
Wrathful ripping of gloves
Telling time a tale about waiting
Dealing final lungs for opulence
Last kidneys for repute
Dealing repute for oxygen
Wealth for time
Time to breathe
Death is not the fear
It is wasting time, and things
And loves
Ascension is not the fear
But weltering in questions
Scatty answers
Lost and found
Dust to dust, bones to dust
Intellect to dust, wealth to dust
Alone, quiet, melting, lost.
