    Strange how some people are scared to live fully because of death and some it works the other way round too they are scared to die, because of life.

    Someone I was just listening to just said, I think you are the happiest when you are not thinking about attaining happiness.

    Maybe it's a bit like the championship rounds. Who wants to go through life protecting a lead if you've done very well and had big success. Just waiting on the final bell to end it.

    If we think of death as a consequence to action then we might as well stay in bed.

    6 feet under
    or burnt up in an urn
    we will be broken asunder
    and be buried or be burned
    Dia Bando shovels 'em in
    them corpses in the flames--
    he threw so many motherfuckers ın so far
    he cannot remember their names.

    This is one of my favorite works by a famous old school poet Robert Graves, born London 1895, it catches the shock and horror at the realization of lifes clock as it falls into reverse on him (so he mentally tries to turn it back) but it gently slides to a halt and ceases in his own time. I love it. Its so... Gothic and atmospheric.



    DOWN


    Down stairs a clock had chimed two O'clock only.
    Then outside form the hen roost crowing came.
    Why should the shift -wing call against the clock?
    Three hours from dawn? Now shutters click and knock.
    And he remembers a sad superstition.

    Unfitting for the sick bed .... turn aside.
    Distract, divide, ponder the simple tales
    That puzzled childhood; riddles,turn them over-
    half riddles, answerless,the more intense.
    Lost bars of music tinkling with no sense
    Recur, drowning, uneasy superstition.

    Mouth open he was lying,this sick man,
    And sinking all the while;how had he come
    To sink? On better nights his dream went flying,
    Dipping sailing the pasture of his sleep,
    But now (since clock and cock) had sunk him down
    Through mattress bed, floor, floors beneath,stairs ,cellars,
    Through deep foundations of the manse,still sinking
    Through unturned earth. How had he magicked space
    With inadvertent motion or word uttered
    Of too close-packed intelligence (such there are)
    That he should penetrate with sliding ease
    Dense earth,compound of ages,granite ribs
    And groins? Consider: There was some word uttered,
    Some abracadabra-then, like a stage ghost,
    Funereally with weeping,down, drowned,lost!

    these are the haunted solemn words and perturbances of a middle-aged man realizing all-too-strikingly his clear undeniable mortality, his limit life on earth, h,s com,ng, loom,ng dem,se as a creature. thıs ıs a hauntıong-ass poem Andre, a great post mate, a hauntıng I wıll thınk of some nıghts.
