Best Before

as synapses decay

insulation stripped

from sputtering pathways

why should anyone want

these mortal remnants

of embodied light?

better to accept alone

into blindness and numb

muffled echoes in solitary

but even uncaressed

still I'll dance for mesen

a leap a finger inmind💃 💃

however compromised

while breath persists to love

this flesh that is yet me
