Understory 2021

365

It’s so normal--yet we all fear--
We reap what we sow--Death--
Nothing is satisfying--Tired--
It lurks in the shadows

It is immortal--But it’s dead
There are no deals or loopholes--
It’s always there--the end of fate
How do we know?--We don’t

But let us continue our lives--
Loved ones--stay safe inside--
Walk--Binge--Eat--Work--in the meantime
And wait--until the next time--
