V U L T U R E

How long am I here
In the layers of dust 
Upon this earth
Lord Universe I 
Am foresaken 
In this chair 
Clotting blood 
Round moon 
This life is pain 
Yet no suffering 
Today I am the living 
Nesting bird chirping 
Tomorrow I am the dead 
Vulture flying 
Eyeing the foresaken
In sickness and in health 
This earth,  thy home
