did you see death
just the other day?
he was sitting in a chair
next to the bed where you lay.
did you see death
just last week?
he was hiding in your closest
while you sang yourself to sleep.
did you see death
back when you were young?
he was watching while you played
out in the sun.
did you see death
on the day that you died?
of course you did, we all know
he looked you in the eye.
