raze after you've lived
long enough to know
who you are and what
you want your leaving
song to be, one question
remains: when they film
your fall from sleep's
stiff embrace, will you
flood your face with fear
to mimic mornings spent
trying to beat back death
with little more than
the sound of your voice,
or will you conjure calm
from some moth-eaten
pocket of a past life
and call the mercy
killing a mimic's
honest work?
