Life Is for the Living

Life is for the living.
Inside creaky shouts
I cannot claim to know
a despair so great

that my heart should remain
quiet enough to hear

death’s leathery whisper.
Haunts some,
coaxes others.
For others still, relief.

Thought I once felt
an inexplicable grief

to be alive; it is a mystery.
Could’ve fallen beneath the surface,
stayed afloat and drowned
instead the rumor

death once told me.
Life is for the living.
