Thank for death
that conceals the secrets of man
when agile bones become fragile
and stone-crushing steppings
become Stone-piercing waverings

Thank God for death
that completes the circles of beinghood
from unfancy, adolescent, adulthood to senility
sending forerunners to it's victims
to prepare for an unspecified journey in an unspecified day
through an unspecified means of conveyance

Thank God for death
man would have been
a searing grizzly bear
if his soul knows no death
for the just punishment of disobedience
is not after all without sympathy

Thank God for death
the perfect rest for the restless
in a world of restive affairs
God's choiceless gift
to the rich and poor
the sane and insane
cried canals not for death
for death is a passage to Life
