no way to say another loss is less than ruins
runes carved to say that lead us
in to the stark site of being
here no more
but his own words will live on for
some and that's all any of us can ask
buzzing our love of language & its possibilities

But the dead are wholehearted about being dead,
no half measures no shilly-shallying:
they're committed, dedicated
to purposelessness.
