Something my wife
Pointed
Out
Last night:
More of my friends
Are dead
Than alive.
It is common
Stains
Decrease
Yet I am only 41.
More of my family
Are dead
Than alive.
I have a list
Of people
Who
I speak of
In the first tense
Who
Can only be expressed
In the past.
A soup:
Suicides
Cancers
Cars
Bursting
Hearts
Haemorrhages
Drownings
Alcohol
Substances.
Sludge.
There is no meaning to be found in lists.
