Confrontation with the Reaper
I’ve seen you lurking like a shadow of malice,
With palm open for the ill to fall in.
You, eager usurper, you self-employed assassin,
If breath be wine, you raise your chalice
And escort the lost to your cold, dark palace.
With just a cough you start to beam
And prepare your fists to rip fate’s seam
As you end ailments without gratis.
Yet hair goes grey and skin will wrinkle
And mirthful eyes no longer twinkle.
Every journey and song must come to an end,
And when sore are my bones and heavy my heart,
I’ll look to you as guide and friend,
And by your side, this world depart.
     - Emily Shank

It Is Dark Inside and Perfectly Clear                                               Jason Snart
This poem cannot give 
you what you want. Need 
is your shiver to
the blanket that will
not arrive. Absence 
is this dark room: everything
invisible and complete. Clarity
the scalpel     moving
to incise. 
    This is all part
of some - what’s the word 
again? 
Healing?  I promise you
a scar.
