Interminable Death Poem by Tony Adah

Interminable Death



Death so slowly or swiftly come
It gives no notice to any party
His coming no one ready to welcome
Than with reluctance follow
The chariot driven beyond
Sunset or sunset.
If he will preempt one
Like a wolverine, giving a binge
The gritty earth crusty as it is
Will glaringly go
Never finding a place to subside,
The sky will on a void sit.
If he will give
A party to the drunk
An eternal valediction, he will
Wobbly go
Thinking that every drink is gone
And every cup is empty.
The world is full of those who
Do not want to go of their own Volition, be there any cause Deserving death,
They endless can not stay
But more slowly or swiftly move
In a buggy of the absent horse
This is a feat
A circus can not play
Or a journey you can forfeit from
From your vault your toils
And cheat on the world.
Death's language hears no plea
In a calmly or ghastly take
The world thins and swells again
And like A snake, its tail in its
Mouth.
