in ear shot, passing by you can hear warnings on the street signs death, it stops breathing, holding holding until you’re no longer separate it sprints through city streets gracefully stretches out of hospital beds folding blankets, fluffing pillows waits next to us death is fragile, shatters on pavement falls in cracks and drifts and dries how many of us have died walking through a doorway could so much be forgotten
