Death Becomes Us

we wear it well, death

it suits our demeanour

our culture

our lifelong actions


we are, at extremes,

remarkable

and

unbearable


ingenious

and

barbaric beyond tears


death makes space for new talents

lays waste to the violent


death becomes us


without it

we would be

a living death

an endless grief
