October

His face was hallowed:

His lips were light pink almost white,

His skin was chapped and falling apart,

His eyes looked big but sunken in.

 

His skin seemed to sag;

With no muscles left to attach to.

His joints, big and bulging-

A human skeleton.

 

Sitting on the couch –

Silently –

Not knowing what to say next.

What do you say to a dying man?

 

Unusually warm out

For October. It is Halloween

Once more

This one would be different.
