I thought of dying gazing into the black seductive ice water so glassy and so tranquil I thought of dying but in my place Deaths bony embrace clutched listless children gnawed by hunger prisoners on death row detritus of their own childhoods poor shepherds grazing blunt-toothed animals on landmined hillsides I thought of dying to throw myself away so much landfill If its no use to me I could give it I can holler with my lungs at injustice join hands in protest at brutality I realized that I had long been dead but I could choose instead to reawake and be alive for them coment plzz
