Cause Of Death
A man collided with the ground
Like lyrics with the sound
His heart stopped, his body like a broken flower
No zest left in him, no seed, no power
The color of his clothes got brighter, as his faded
His memory was born, as he and death mated
And as people wondered about the Cause of Death
The cause that forever paused his chest
The crowd grew silent, not a noise, not a hiss
For God needs no reason to take what is his.
