Free Again
This morning I woke up
and was already dead
Words shrouding my body,
new verse in my head
I start to count backwards,
all time in reverse
The music still playing,
new song unrehearsed
This morning I woke up
to the end of it all
The grieving had started,
last memory a pall
The alarm had gone off
before life called my name
The emptiness over,
—my soul free again
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)
