Mortality

by Kim Buske - Taurus

There is a beautiful pond where the birds fly and the fish spawn and the turtles graze in perfect harmony
Where the sun rises and sets radiating glorious colors 
Where the wild flowers bloom in spring and speak to the breeze
Where the virgins bleed sin- the smell of rapacious adultery
The pollen flies, the flower dies
The snake screams glory in the murderous night
The pond floor cracks, paralyzing thirst
The fish seizure, fins beating against the crisp gravel
Eyes momentarily gleaming desperation
Before the vacancy sets in
Death has arrived
As the clouds gather for yet another season of mortality

Reason for writing:

    A man once sayed a story must end in death, or it is a lie.
