A LOOK INSIDE
my world
I began sowing young
I had seen so many die
suddenly, slowly, miraculously
I began to understand the value
of a life and a life unfulfilled.
dozens of funerals, wakes, repasses,
phone calls, news reports, social media
posts I keep trying to count how many
people I have known to live and then
die, so dad and I can
think back, do the math
to figure out how old I was
always wondering who's next?
