"You’re twilight and star burn and shade
You’re the secret veiled, you’re the secret revealed, you’re surrounded no more"
- Tom Morello
When death approached, it did not speak
As it drew its hands over your eyelids and lips and ears
Your body settled like a stone
As your fears drowned in an ocean bereft of water
Your head hung high as you watched
Distant wings casting a shadow on the sun
While unseen stars were in full collapse
Witnessed in the elements of your breath
You are not a martyr or a prophet
But a highway cut through rolling hills in exile
And the day I try to live is the day
You will show me how to live
