He walks through time

Grasping moments

in the palm of one hand;

shining scythe in the other

Thrashing seconds upon

seconds of precious life


He is an eclipsed moon,

a wandering eye.

The Grim Soldier;

taking his sweet time

to take away yours


A flicker in the night,

a lost flame, wandering,

burning inside us all


we all feel a little death

when we all hear the sirens call
