Who dies?

when the last breath

subsides

the final train

departs into the night

Who dies?

when jealousy gives

way to grace

and into love

this life's redeemed

Who dies?

when an i is on vacation

enfolding is becoming

in the now we are

Who dies?

when reason explains

itself away

criticism getting stuck

in its own strains

and the mechanism

of avoidance and attraction

is reconfigured like cracks

on a frozen lake

approaching sunrise

Who dies?

while reading

these lines

while listening

to these sounds

echo to echo

dust to dust
