The risk’d life

“For what do you risk your life?”

For kith

for kin

through thick

and thin

for love

through strife

and a million

billion manifestations

of life.

 

“I risk my life

for Life.”

Skull

Can these bones

Come to

Life?

To love again

To hate again

To dance upon the fife?

The sockets twin

That gape within

Behold no more dear kin.

The fix’d grin

Besmirks the world

To wallow in its sin.

Once veiled in flesh

respire, refreshed

now in oblivion

forever

enmeshed.
