Casket by Adejola Joseph Casket Six feet deeper Deeds of man is questioned How did you live your life? Time to give account Every man will die Surely, every man will taste death But death is not the end of a journey It's a transition to the unknown and to the unseen Casket I rejoice at the day I see my casket It's a homecoming Glorious homecoming Casket....

Laying in this casket, buried deep under Dark skies; raging with lightning and thunder There’s no coming back, I’m staying under Time to waste now, just idling my time In my right hand I’m turning my last dime Gone to soon, I’m still in my prime Laying in this casket, buried deep under Dark skies; raging with lightning and thunder There’s no coming...

(Elizabeth II 1926-2022) Are we - crow, blackbird, sparrow - aware of what's occurring? We cannot tell, they assume, but gape and gaze from up here. This is a land with a departed monarch. We - sparrow, blackbird, crow - flit or sit above the richness of that marching red regalia. Thousands of arms stretch, sinews strain, cameras are held aloft to catch the start of...

A losing struggle over his life, Cancer to make no mistake Of a blunt knife; Its image takes as The-At-Stake And the ongoing struggle Stark Strife! A death helped by a Hurrying Disease Lewis’ blasphemous anger at his unease: “Then, God does endorse The Sadism Worse than Unholy Nudism”. A bitter quitting of Britain for a discarded village And helpless reoccupation of a...

The Broken Fountain Pen Disaster Underfoot the dropped was-so-lost pen breaks snapping its midnight ink artery to spurt explosively out like some imprisoned force nearly dead but up again sucking in saving air and spread on dispersing into freedom in a fly across the floor the long streaks of such random black arcs streaking falling ...

The Poet in His Casket Well, look at you lying there! In your brown suit and gold tie. How I want to hug you now! You can't be dead, you're only forty years old!

Come to me, my pretty thing, For killed I was and dead I’ve been. The flowers strewn about my grave I bring to you this lovely day. Draw not back, my little lass. Soon all your fears will leave and pass. Your love I seek to give me life; I’ve come to take you for my wife. The coffin, Dear, is a lonely...

I raise the lid so slowly, My hand on soft satin; I hear the creaking hinges As moonlight seeps within. My bleary eyes encounter The dank and wooden floor, Time to appease the hunger, Not once but ever more. I turn the ornate doorknob And what a sight I see, A river of flowing forest Down to the endless sea. Village homes a light with candles To push...
