Death's Invitation (Free verse) by eliastemplar
I cheated death today I stole one second, one inch, and one degree from him. In the blink of an eye his hand was empty and I still breathed. When the fear had passed and the smoke had cleared I returned to his broken trap. There on the ground lay a copper coin and I stole this too. I put it on a chain around my neck. This way I'm sure I'll never forget.
