Death Notice

Folder: 
Book I: Part III

In the 23rd hour

Of the 24th day ninth month,

A sudden vision of power

His heart had stopped at once.

He lay dead on the surface

Yet both eyes wide white,

The facial expression worthless

As it was in his life.

Never reason to smile

Always reason to be ill,

If he was alive right now

Itd be himself he would kill.

He said he saw death one day

While he was asleep dreaming,

But he was also believing

That for him it’s what other people were seeing,

What other people were needing,

Because now that he’s dead

Others may start succeeding,

And now that he’s bleeding

And no longer breathing,

There’s a smile on his face

Because he’s finally leaving.
