Skeleton smiles through the dirt
Default mode for fleshless faces
Relieved of the pain
And the joy
Though there is some joy hidden In the pain
Clouded smile rain soaked cheeks
Break through it all
Relentlessly as my journey deepens
Cells and atoms heading underground
Wanting so much to smile again
Dirt in my teeth tasting like forever
As I melt back into the origin
Life still animating my bones
They say it’s the soul
The part of me that knows
There is only nothing that awaits us
Making this day all the more precious
