Nicholas Alexander

Time Ends

Time ends for everybody
At the end we hear the kind words
of Family and Friends

at the end

Before we fall we may suffer
but afterward, we lie in peace

Keeping ourselves
in daylight

Leaving our skin under skylight
our brittle bones no longer matter
our exposures and sins no longer
count against us

Our diseases now dormant
our selves liberated

no longer home
no longer there
lying there still and silent
