Prior to the Afterlife

The ceiling sparkled;
I saw the big dipper, then the little one. 
The painters needed a bigger tip for their creative execution.
Without a warning to prepare, a requiem played. 
The symphony corned all aspects of a so-called classic; muffled screams, vulgar tongues and your tears – 
Silence doesn’t come fast and 
I begged for forgiveness and solidarity whilst connecting the dots of Orion.
