Now aubade has gone
and the day has spun its spun
A jolt of twilight wakens
the nothingness to come
No more rises or zeniths
no future for the sun
only the shocking truth of knowing
When life’s done it’s done
For death can never be destroyed or undone
Hollowed out inside, oblivion’s rotten void
Permanence beset with no upside
But the twilight jolts again
A curve appears across night’s end
a qualm of uncertainty, another bend
If not the sun
If not the son
None becomes more than the sum
A doubt has arisen through death’s prism
I feel… I feel…
Damn I feel so close
Just like in life… I’m somewhere… almost!
