Cause every living must die
though timely or untimely
but dies absolutely and entirely
nakedly and exhaustively
with that dies a secret
untold and never spoken
the secret he had hold
while he was living
and at the very moment
i recall all the secrets of my life
never told and never spoken
moments of sorrows and joy
i wonder if they die
peacefully or unpleasantly
alongside my dead body
while it burns unhumanly.
