The Casket

The Casket

The casket will close,
And so will I -
To turn a deaf ear to those
On whom the world shouldn't have to rely.

Black and white
(and hoping for red)
And all the possible shades of grey
Are the reflections I see through your eyes -
Just before you look away.

The casket will close,
And so will I -
Even if I become sure of it
I will still deny.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
