time is queer

strange
if you think of it,
at this very moment
someone is dying
being burnt,
washed away,
in their sleep

a new life is created
born,
destroyed

something
being butchered,
someone grinning
crying,
loving,
reading

and someone running that knife
over their hands

  2. Yeah, that's so much like life itself. Scary and strange, but obvious only when we stop to think about it. :)

  3. There's something unnervingly real in your vivid imagery.
