Welcome To Your Long Dying

Welcome, to your long dying- Unsaid words, empty gestures The substance you always searched for Was never real, and you discover We will all be dying alone Of grief, of the faux, negligible existence Everything taken away at the end Dark holocaust swallow us whole And strangle the last sound we make Welcome, to nights of tremulous tears Inside the winding cloth you've made: The teeming brain's multiforme emotions The day you were born, an empty place was created also You were never too rare or special to die The train whistle announces you've been left behind To contemplate your impersonal end We are clothed of the same dust All arrows point in the same direction Both the high and low road are a mobius strip Eternal life, but a dream of dimensional matter Held for a short time in bondage- Time on any scale is nearly invisible to us Welcome, to your long dying Which is but the first breath of non-existence.
