I Am Dust

A passing shadow
little
small
finite thing
a tiny spot
in an enormous world
there is no forever
only now
later not
yes,
I will surely die
soon no later
maybe tomorrow
if my time knocks on my door
poor me
I fear
not ready
I am not
not ready
to kiss the surface
but
I smell my grave
my own final bedroom
my own bed
my coffin.
