When Death is going to Die?
When is Death going to die?
Why is that birth gave birth to death
Or is birth given by Death-
When is Death going to die?
Like you and me
Like what comes from
Earth going into earth,
Like what goes up from down coming down
It is not the fire which consumes
It’s the meek and murky mud
Which devours, which digests
Produces the proud-apple everyday
Harbouring the serpent in its slimes all the time
The leaves that gave shame for ever and ever
Opens into itself and out of itself
Gates to mortality
We who come therefrom
Must dig deep in
Like the pig of yore
Not looking up, never
Closing yourself , keep going.
