  • non omnis moriar

    I know not why she wrote it there
    In a script that no one read anymore.
    I know not why she got it there
    And still forgot what it meant to her.
    I know not why I liked that line
    And thought of the truth that lay in it.
    I know not why I read the sign
    And decided tonight to stay with it.
    “Not all of me will die” it said;
    Not all of you will live either.
    I know not why I fill the blanks
    And fear that Death will meet her,
    Not today or the day after
    But one day, the nomad will come.
    I know not why “Ozymandias”
    Is what I fear I’ll hear him hum.
