I heard death humming at my door

I wrote this as a response for my hard disk crashing and taking into oblivion hours of writing, poetry, and other documents. Luckily I had backed-up my files last month but still a lot was written in the past month. Still Death has not won, and so my motto is "Some men live and die, I die and live"

I heard death humming at my door today
I heard him mutter,
"I am here"
making his presence known
I was not afraid
for he could not
Kill
what is dead,
"Here I am,
take me
today! I said
He vanished
merrily whistling away
"I'll be back when
all is well"
"Fine" I said,
by then
everyone
will be dead.

Clever write, Alain. I got a good chuckle at it. Thanks for sharing.

Damn his presence!
The dead coming for the dead.
Somewhat ghoulish I'd say.
A perfect repast of Halloween imagery!

Wow. That's some perspective, Alain. It's odd. I was thinking along those line today. Love and peace,

Regis
