A BIT OF A JOKER

Death takes down
space.

Death dismantles
time.

"You no longer
need these." he smirks.

"Just human constructs...
part of life's illusions."


He erased the sky.
He packed up the mountains.

He rolled up the horizon.
He removed my name.

"No need of these
where we're going."

"Oh..." he told me
as if he had forgotten

"...leave your memories
they are no longer necessary."


Death looked around
"Well, that's that then!"

"To infinity and beyond!"
he chortled.

I hadn't figured on Death
being a bit of a joker.
