When I Have Zero Days
when i have zero days
the last pillow of earth
and coldness fills the hearth
everything goes sideways
my breath can’t move a match
my lover listens close
heart’s beating like a rose
i can hear heaven’s latch
when i have zero hours
and tears are held at bay
as kin, in whispers pray
the silent tone devours
when i’ve zero seconds
i see the light at last
my destination cast
as the good Lord beckons
