Life or Death - Vice Versa

Blood sparkles in water

a permanent reflection

of death (life) opening within

my obsidian eyes.

Can’t see life (death) blinking

as sun chaperones darkness

silent serenity of death (life).

Tangled life (death) strings soak

in the awakening light

but all I can see

is life (death) flickering

and going out in the night.

Shadows crawl over my soul

searching for new offering

illuminated by crying crows –

mournful memories of

sad serenades of

short harmonies

of death (life).

Sunlit afternoon foretells

echoes of death (life) song

fog of life (death) walks down

congealed road.
