Death at 6 A.M.

Jessica Pilgreen

An unexpected struggle
His arms stiff and erect, outstretched
As he feebly struggles to remain aloft,
casting circular waves outward from the murky center
unable to push himself up against the gravity of death.
I dip my spoon in a feeble attempt to snatch him from impending doom,
But I only succeed in stirring his frenzy. On the surface,
He spasms briefly before turning over into the brown water.
Overtaken by it all, he slowly settles to the bottom
Like a piece of soot or a rotten leaf.
He is an empty shell but still
I drag him from the depths and
I gently fold him into the whiteness of my napkin
Before tossing him into the vastness of the garbage can
And ordering another cup of coffee.
