Darkness surrounds
me the lid is closed
and I’m dying I

waking sighing
I’m not dead but
my dream is

why dream of death

perhaps it’s not an
end but a beginning
a new beginning like
movie two double feature

maybe death is a renewal
of divinity
a mulligan

this life
might be fun if
remembered with
previous lives
there’s humor there
lives finding kindred
souls long lost friends

our world forces
us to forget our
pasts like
telling the joke
keeping the
punch line
