poem 1

i am become death, the destroyer of worlds

i can never die
i have escaped death
i am above death or below death
death is an ending
i cannot end because i am not

there is no me, i am gone
i am a shell
death looks for me but i am gone
i am gone
i am gone
i am gone

you cannot end nothing
how could you end me?

i have escaped.
i left
i fled

what is this thing that looks like me and feels like me?
a river following the same path i used to
a perfect copy - almost
what is it that it does not have?

i am become death, destroyer of worlds
i made myself vanish
my world is destroyed
your world lives on
