mortality

too restless to rest in peace

too alive for it to press as an issue

i and my mortality observe what must soon come

 

these words are one thing thought another learned

 

the harshness of audio

in telemetry

in the swiftly-pulled zipper of a body bag

drive us to many distractions

 

“alas” is wordsister to “love”

 

and death unnoticed by those he has claimed
