Can Still
Eyes dulled by time
Can still see the chaos that has been thrusted upon the world.
A heart that no longer vigorously beats within its bony walls
Can still feel the ache of loss.
A belly that no longer craves sweet decadence
Can still feel hunger.
A withering mind
Can still think.
An ailing body
Can still crave the sun’s light
And long for the smells of summer and freedom.
