(Lying naked On A Red Cushion, Pablo Picasso, 1932)
INCURSION
Darkness, blanketing the light
You take your position, there upon the pillow
As if waiting for the executioner
The mind weary, vulnerable
Worry, regret, contemplation of failures descend
Like an unheeded lover’s desire
Wanting, waiting, restless
Ready to pounce; ready to seize
For no one can stop the inevitable
Death, taxes, and sleep
Whaaaaaat a twist at the end?!?! Was expecting more of an “Outlander” ending.
