I’ll Leave This Here…
by Rie Sheridan Rose
.I’ll leave this here for someone new to find.
To see the face upon the grass and wonder.
To contemplate the party it might have featured at…
To surmise the play that might have used it.
And I will laugh at their confusion,
Knowing the truth.
.
I have shed my skin today—
Been reborn anew.
I leave behind the wrinkled visage of
A hundred years
And step forth once more the
Beauty of another age.
.
Immortality is a funny thing.

Overheard in Hell:
Dark Poetry
Poems exploring hell and damnation. Tales of sorrow, vengeance, betrayal, and redemption. Ghosts, ghouls, and demons stalk these pages. Don’t read in a lonely house…in a darkened room by a single candle…
…unless you like the touch of an icy finger up your spine.
