Dreaming About Death
Fingers
Wipe away my tired tears
With hands that are not mine
Gripping
Idle and cold pages
Dressed in forget-me-nots
Steady
Thoughtless like ash in jars
As I sink into doomed glee:
Why am I awake dreaming about Death?
Wipe away my tired tears
With hands that are not mine
Gripping
Idle and cold pages
Dressed in forget-me-nots
Steady
Thoughtless like ash in jars
As I sink into doomed glee:
Why am I awake dreaming about Death?

dear Fishmander
i wonder about perhaps using only D at the end of the last line
as Death is already so strongly implied in the title
Why am I awake dreaming about D ?
and that would also create an antithesis to its rhyme with Glee

I hadn't thought about that, that's a really neat idea,
I wrote this from a place where death is being accepted.
So I feel as if that change would undo a lot of the meaning in it for me.
