SCI-FI/FANTASY Poem: OUT, by Lotus

Stenciled out
For a weekend trip
We plan to go to Vegas
Metal rings
Around the finger
We intertwine our hand
Our lives
Our souls

A dark ride out
A tire flat
Trees surround my view
Flashing lights
A gunshot heard
My life and yours dissolve
Pull away
Death stays

The lights go out
I’m left behind
The forest leers with heavy eyes
A sound heard right
My feet head left
But it gets me in its sight

A single eye
Blinks steadily
The glow caressing me
I cannot move
It does not leave
But something has changed, indeed
