death becomes HeR

don’t know why i cant speak it
wont let its name form on my tongue
swirl in my spit
not ready to think of the lights
the darkness
the silence

not
now

too many dreams to fulfill
novels to write
plots to fill
of dirt and disorder
buried around my skull
after breath has slowed
then stopped

no

i don’t want to ponder
my legacy
hemorrhaging faith
swallowing hope
accepting my death as defeat

now

studied in books
forums and
under attended memorials
respect never received
as i blinked and breathed
