Thoughts on death, commonest of rage, Trouble a...

Sarcophagus beetles gnaw on these bones buried in the catacombs They still have zombie feast needs of me long after I’m gone The scratching on the whited stones of the sunken mausoleum, brings the chorus of the viol worms to life Crawling through my empty eye sockets, planarian pleas are unsightly ... dirt given with an inaudible drone Whither doth the wind blow this...

Where are you going, what will be your end? Will you tread in others footsteps or mark the virgin sand. Will you stop from time to time, to admire the view? Maybe just to reflect awhile,on I, Me and you....

Into a great silver realm of night I go, and strange paths I find winding whither I stroll; Jutting spear-fences cutting, tipped frozen cold, against a misted moon; Twinkling snow on the death of eve, When stray cats envy the warm windows.... And strangers in little alien-coves seek their...
