"Ancora Imparo" "I am still learning." -Michelangelo


Death for the undying,
Rest for the insomniac.

I have lived through innumerable moments.
To me, years do not exist.

I have engineered the passing of billions.
From the first man, to that celebrity you saw on T.V.

I visit them all the same.
In death, all are equal.

Some in undying agony,
Some comfortably asleep amongst the vast swathes of linens.

I find myself tired,
Wanting those linens.

I have seen enough.
I long for my own end.
