Enigma

poem by: Eireann O'Kane
Written on Feb 07, 2016 

I don't understand, where am I? She cried!


“My dear, isn't it obvious?..You've died!” 


No. It can't be. I'm not ready to leave.


My dear, it is time, accept it and grieve.


Time? But what time is it? When did I die?


My dear isn't it obvious? It happened last night!


Obvious? You moron, nothing is so!


My dear, but it is, accept it and go...


Go? Go where? Am I not here?


My dear, of course not, you're not even near..


You're crazy! I'm dreaming? I don't care what you say..


My dear, I'm afraid, then here you will stay..
