Death, My Companion

I first felt thy presence

In my mother’s womb

Before I was born.

There were two of us.

We moved side by side,

My twin and I.

The moment came

When Death

Ended one of us with

My father’s swift kick.

 

Years later,

I could feel

That something

Was missing

From my heart.

I mourned

For you,

The one

I never knew.
