I worry a lot about dying.
Or maybe worry is wrong
I THINK about death
a lot of the time
what it means
why we fear it so
what happens when we are dead
I know what happens to the living
They grieve, they suffer, they cry
but the dead?
What do they do
What do they become
I think about the very first person that ever died
there has to be the first one
what did people think
were they afraid
Someone is there and then -a gasp, a shudder and they're still THERE but NOT
No light no movement .... nothing
So mysterious that must have been.
