shroud
/ʃraʊd/
1. The light of the city obscures the night. Be the place just above the horizon where the stars stop and the glow of our puny human lives hides the universe. Be indiscernible.
2. Smoke fills the room. For years you will sit in the corner where it lingers and choke on mouthfuls of blatant lies like the seawater you try to swallow every time you swim.
3. Do you rely a bit too heavily on euphemisms and metaphors and eulogies? The truth has been lying here, daring you to pull your cloth over its body and throw your handful of dirt, knowing that it will not stay buried. The ghosts of your mistakes will follow you in the echoes of your footsteps through every empty hallway.
4. And unfortunately for you and your seawater, the dead still haunt the dead, and a watery grave is no more permanent than one of earth.
