#65 - death (for fear of abstractions)

5.3.20
65
death
for fear of abstractions

death has these little wings
often smaller than seeing

hovers, you wouldn’t think so
but picture the dark – flag, scythe, sores
no one calls
nowhere to go

death has a life of its own

comes static like applause
by obsession, for instance

picture of a coffin
as good as my word

you can tire the body with thinking too much
wear out the mind with these strokes

head or heart?
who’s first?

starts with a sniffle
then the daisy push-ups

some go to event
somewhere sunk under skin

a continent of
come slip through a door and

how many lines?
which animals follow?

a special deal on suffering
consider a little transmigration

any other mob could be right

still willing to the end and after
takes a kind of rigor

it was just a scratch, a little cough

still lightning strikes
you’re down
dreamt as far as that

sleep gets in
won’t go
