Death will come,
Death always comes.

When I was a ****** up kid,
I used to draw skulls
in the margins of the bible.

I used to laugh
and pick
at squashed squirrels;
while the girls
stood at a distance
crying.

I don't know
who they were crying
for.

I'd take an eraser
to the wrists
and
rub my own tombstone into my skin
until it burned.

Death will come,
Death always comes.
