Halloween Hit and Run

Kimberly M. Miller

As the cracks in my skull mended,
I bled.
These are days
I cannot recall.

It was a time when
Death
stood at my bedside,
awaiting my decision to stay
or go.
I stayed.

But Death stole days
I was not meant to recall,
replacing them with emptiness.
I remember looking
both ways
yet I cannot recall
three days.

The skull-cracks filled
without memories.
Now
I am satisfied to
forget.

I know the edge of life,
and I’ve
touched
Death;
found bones, not skin,
and scars for
perfect flesh.
The lost time
and perfection
changes,
always changes
me.
