Adam,
\ncutter of cords,
\ndied giddily in a greedy gamble.
\nFading intuition knew and rang the only knell,
\nand in the reverberations of that solitary bell
\nmindstrings stirred into mad ensemble,
\nseeking lost chords.<\/p>\n
Death —
\nresting, maybe —
\nis this the time to take the test,
\nto stalk and trap my anmal defeat?
\nBut no.\u00a0 The echoing knell recedes and bares my grave,
\nI hold on to my bones and guts and meat,
\nforget this death like all the rest,
\ngreedy zombie —
\nliving.<\/p>\n
