Shaking the Dust Off (a dirge)

You never know what's within
'Til Death stares through you with its optical hollows
And smiles at you with its lipless grin,
And your eyes blink as your throat swallows;
Your mind realizing you cannot win,
And that you, too, will one day see what follows,

I can't stand idly by
Knowing the end is nigh
So I sigh
And say goodbye
Beloved
