Must we pity the dead?

Must we pity the dead?

must we envy them?


a woman lies awake at night

brittle cold on a bed of stone 

waiting waiting and

the stars shine down upon her


I sing a dream to the pit some nights

It knows death, knows horror

and i ask it each night

Must we fear death?

and it rumbles, low, in answer


looking up at the stars I watch them die

watch flares become supernova

dust flies through the thick of night

through the dead of night


like a ghost

laying a trail made of light
