at last

Poetry
is it just like
that
a flat line running
until the monitor is switched off
cleaned down, prepared
for another
or are there hiccoughs
glitches
hesitations, lost hours
resumptions
imperceptible
diminuation of spark
until the inevitable
the flame extinguished
but no smoking candle
just gone
