Untitled

Death stood by the road side 
and swung his hand to get a ride 
Many stopped by, but was never favored 
And some came, but he never entered 

When the road sirened my coming, 
he rushed and placed a checkpoint at the middle;
my body became the car he rushed to enter at last 
And eyes, his whistle for a clearer sight

He then control the steering of my body 
Straight to his packing log: the grave... 
Like an owl waiting for the night, 
am here wishing for the sound of the trumpet.
