When our day darkens
All light and life sucked out thoroughly
Series of thunder claps
Tangle our Knees
And we do not know which way to go
Fastened tight against the rope
Dealt brutal with life’s sucker punches
A crazy jab in the abdomen
An upswing hook sends us flying
A powerful kick in the groin
Black eyes. We black out
And we are dragged away on the rough earth
Like a heap of wet meat
And we find ourselve in the gabbage, dirt-tangled
When finally, the Sun set
And the bell rings echoing time up
And the day becomes the night.
Transmogrified into a celestial state
All that we ever are, all that we ever have
Laid uselessly behind
As the immortal soul reaching onward
As we journey to eternity
Knowing what may and may not
One must depart and cross the river
Loved ones and all behind.
