Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:
Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.
Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

ten, nine, eight,
i hope this works,
i cannot wait.
seven, six, five
where’s my breath,
where’s...my...alive.
four, three, two
another ascent to death
wheeze like glue
one, one, one
one, one
one
bone? gone? done?
hone? lone?
none?
run.

A powerful statement. Your poem revolves around the themes of anxiety, existential dread, and the confrontation with mortality. The countdown format suggests a sense of urgency and impending doom, while the expressions of breathlessness and the quest for life emphasize a struggle against despair. Yet your poem captures the tension between life and death, ultimately conveying feelings of isolation and the inevitability of fate. So strong in feelings
Sounds like the countdown to Popeye opening yet another can of spinach! lol.
This has several aspects to it wordplay and tension that comes in a countdown. I hope this was not a fuse Tristan. Well written my friend.
