Another week of fantastic entries, but I would like to remind contestants that part of the challenge is to use the prompt as it appear in your piece. Apologies if this has not been made clear before, I'll make sure to include it in the guidelines for June when it goes up on Friday.
On to the winners for May.

And blew me out into the waters of life,
I marched towards that end of all ends: Reaper's macabre kiss;
Which calls the weary to find peace.
Time is a blazing cosmic crucible; but there is not enough.
