death is the great
equalizer
facing it down
is not as hard
as I had thought
it is this new world
which has taught us
to fear our
natural beginnings
as well as our
natural
end
pain is a part
of existence
it soaks into
every fiber of life
how stupid we are
to not honor it
but instead to beat
it back
as if it were
a wolf pacing the
outskirts of a smoldered
sheltering
fire
in the wilderness
our life force
being that fire
our deaths being
that hungry wolf.
