the sound of Death
is Silence.

oh, maybe, sometimes,
it's violence.

but, all in all
Death has no Sound
a'tall.

whether
it's body or soul
or the whole,
maybe the Heart
or a 'nuther part
it's Silent.
it's when it's all spent.
'nuthin left ta' give.
'nuthin left ta' live.
the bottom of the siv.

the color of Death
is Black.
cut's ya' no slack.
back-ta'-back.
hung on the Rack
ta' Dry.
ta' Die.

so sight & sound
abound in Life.
but Death
cuts like a knife.
in Silence & Black.

Death cut's ya' no slack.
