Tis But Death Poem by Eric Cockrell

Tis But Death



the stranger arrives,
his voice almost remembered,
his smell like rain,

and something else.
his soft insistent knock
rings like a bell,

his hand on the knob...
can you hear?
the sound of his footfall....

tis but death come knocking...
he brings no baggage.
will you open the door?

Spooky. Really like this. Death comes for us all in the end.

with a nod to Edgar Allan Poe, for inspiration, on this one!
