dead eyes like husked almonds bleached on cement/at a certain time everyone leaves/i wonder what a heart feels like, is it soft or tough, does it drip or stare/i wonder what happens after death/do the dead remember dying/do the dead remember their lives/do the dead cry or kiss/sometimes i have a dream about wide mouth whalebone skeletons laughing at me with their jaws clacking/some people are afraid of death/the ascension of a person/the buildup of a life/only to disappear/our live amount to grey tombstones and crying aunts/i think it's funny
