A Universe That Never Forgets

Death does not arrive with bias or mercy.
It sneaks between ribs and chokes beating hearts. 
Eyes close and breath ceases — bodies go quiet.

We go, we go,
Gone.

Back to where the stars have patiently waited.
Where we scatter outward, and what we lose
Becomes light again
In a universe that never forgets.
