A whisper, a rattle, is it final? I don't know your guess is as good as mine. You see, these bodies here just pile up over time.
We've lost or given up. I'm not sure it does seem that lately, death has been standing at everyone's door.
Do you answer or just let it be.
I think for me, I'll just wait and see that perhaps in time, this plague has changed everyone's mind.
The world is different now, and somehow, we must carry on and not wind up a foregone conclusion. Oh! I'm sorry, it just seems that with all the long hours, this is just an illusion of delusion

Portrait of a Killer
With the slit of a throat and slash of a knife he'd always hope you'd choke tonight, but now he finds that you won't die until next time thus he tries a different way each time hoping against hope that his problem dies so she cries and begs for her life amid all the pain and strife he holds her hand and looks into her eyes seeing the torment that resides inside on fragile wings her hope takes flight she thinks she'll make it out tonight so she fights and grabs the knife and runs it home he gasps the pain untold for all time he closes his eyes a sin that as cast aside now in his hands redemption lies will he choose to live or die

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.
