eternal

i have- as of late- begun to recognize
the growing, dismal black in the corner of my eyes
as the foreshadowing of my inevitable, grisly demise

it brought this poisonous thought to my mind:
if i were to be offered a choice of eternal life
would i accept or would i decline

i was sure that i knew
but i don't think i do anymore

i would relish becoming ethereal
and embodying all things celestial
watching those who are burdened with the smothering weight of time come
-and watching them go.

but i would be so detached from all that is tangible
so disconnected from all the expendable
the love i long for would truly be unattainable

i cannot decide.
