The last god

And when will I die

For all these years 

In these legs and feet

That play on the earth 

Like a ball on the football field

Dancing in the light of day 

And ultimately the night

So it is, 

In this bed creased 

In this heart of slowness

In this red blood clotting 

Looking towards the ceiling

Upwards to the last God 

This is it, the quest for death

In these stars stuck in the sky

With a moon unfaithful behind the clouds 

A final breath goodbye
