one of the many deaths is giving birth

a month ago i had this death consciousness,

and yesterday...

the flowers that bloomed during what was once morning celebrations are now thrown 6 feet below the ground bouncing on a portrait of my face in a 12X12 inch frame. my eyes are shut but i can see images of the people that i've walked along before. their eyes, as black as what they are wearing, spilled tears that floated to the heavens. from this blackbox i can hear choked cries, untold stories, exfoliated secrets, and some that i should only hear through a whisper. then as if by an unseen wave of hand, the light folds and darkness scatters...

...i died. the last thing i saw was a single candlelight and a crying orb.

meanwhile, a cry of a newborn is scuttling through the whole of me.

i was kinda lost there somewhere. but like i told you before, life obliges us over and over to give birth to ourselves.
