5 Haiku On Death
Published in

Poetry on afterlife
Curtains close slowly
The final die has been cast
Incomplete song sheets
*
Cessation of warmth
A loud clock has stopped ticking-
A bronze urn awaits
*
All pious thinking
Falls down 6ft below soil-
An ant carries rock
*
Scripture is read aloud
Over a nonbreathing flesh
In black, they weep in white cloths
*
The thought of leaving
All those books I love to read
Is scary indeed
