what a short, miserable life you have lived
born in a tree and dead in the styx
marshes of despair and pity and pain
all of your own accord, nothing more to sustain
irreproachable on paper, but ultimately flawed in practice and design
hanging from street lamps as if you’re alive
what a short, miserable life you have lived,
all alone in this loud, bustling house
gone without a warning,
until all your lights flicker out.

Beautiful work. Reminds me of a quote by a certain Buddhist monk, who said, “The body of man is like a flicker of lightning, existing only to return to nothingness.”

Nice and illuminating. Styx is also the name of a band I am a fan of.
