The Fall
May 9, 2019
They say you leave everything behind
And yet I saw
A man with a pressed suit
And a woman with a diamond broach
Pass by my window just this morning.
But youー
You will be the first to carry through
Melted wings
And scraps of paper
And a handful of dust.
What could you possibly know of eternity?
For you should be here, rapping at Heaven’s gate,
But noー
You are idling at the dinner table.
