The last lap

 Bones creak upon 

raising 

Aching of bone 

complaining 

the face smiles 

enduring 

grey hair flies

fleeing 

time ticks and tocks 

unrelenting 

skin wrinkles 

withering 

crinkles 

crackles 

cracks 

breaks 

how a colossus 

disintegrates 


how you fall to your knees

crumpled 

by time 

propelled 

life pushes 

us 

towards 

the finishing line 

day after day 

 I drag my footstep 

in searing pain 

step after step 

slow agony 

no sprinting across 

even when in plain sight
