one hundred-sixty eight

coming soon.

death has been playing dominoes
with lives that are dear and near to me,
and to others.

its hands are sticky and quick.
mischievous and sporadic.
silent and cruel.

death has been playing dominoes
with lives that are near and dear to me,
and to others.

but i pray its hands get sliced
into bits and pieces of life
so that it can know what it feels like

to be stripped from all its ever known.
