Death Becomes Her
Faith Harding © 2/20/23
She had seen it
It wasn’t something she wanted to see
Death
From small insects
Lizards, birds
Death
Flowers, food & feelings
Death
She saw them
Entrails on the road
Cats, chickens
Her best friend in bed
Death
Frogs lay flat on the dirt path
She saw her father in a coffin
Death
Booze claims many
While guns kill
Pharma does its best to obliterate
Death
Cancer is either slow or fast
Pigs & cows scream at the slaughter
While viruses take over
Death
Gas the ones that are different
Penalize the poor
Death is always at the door
She has seen it all before
Ideas die
Freedoms are choked
Are you on a respirator?
Death
It’s a part of life
Suicide
Murder
Heart attack
Death
Old age
Dying a slow death
Trauma & rage
It’s a horror show
Blood & pain
Some of us faster than others
Insane
Death
She’s the lady of this house
All that enter knows
She has gathered all dead souls
As
Death becomes her
