A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH




I wake up in the heat of the power break

when the fan stops its purr and I am
nothing but a pool of sweat
and bad dreams:

all the flying black creatures,
the crows, the flies, the beggars,
scavenging the rot in the dance

of death

the endless wet kiss of decomposition,
(the process by which tissues of a dead organism
break down into simpler forms of matter)
buzzing, crowing, minding
their own business.

In the streets bellow, life goes on.
