Death


I used to fear death,
Think about it more than proper.
The mystery,
the finality.


So I took a mustang skull
put thick glasses across its snout
and set it on my bed stand
to greet me as the sun rose.


Now when I think of dying
I see a bespectacled horse
that knows more about mortality
than I do.
