IISZ 2018 Challenge #8 - Fear

[vagabond]

Death Is Forgetting

this is very thought-provoking.. here´s what it made me see.
the crash - too sudden to be accepted.
but accidents happen, unexpected, like the opening line of your poem.
but even when death comes slowly, forseeably or maybe as a relief... that changes little, doesn´t answer the questions.
 repressing comes easier than accepting, sneakier and with a price.

i like how you bring the reader back to child-like thinking in the last stanza. wake me up from this dark dream, mommy. at least turn on the light.  
it also takes up the movie car crash from the first stanza again.. and puts me in a cinema chair. can i please see the end credits now, and then shake it off already and go out have a drink.

Fear

"mute inside your mouth",
"in tangled clumps of hair",
the inversion of ?vectors? in the last two lines,...
it´s very visual and emotionally haunting.

His Father

duke, i love message of your poem, not because it´s a new thought, but because of the way you deliver it and because it needs reminding.

6x6x6

not sure if i understood al the devil and evil and occasional sacrifice (i keep thinking there´s something i miss).
BUT: thumbs up for the last line.

        The voice crackled

numbing repetition , remnants of certainty..
i was subjectively dealt an idea what this is about, but  it can be about many things anyway.
fear is always there as long as things are unfinished.
i like this challenge (though i can´t come up with any answer to it).
