restless

I am restless in the age of light
the cold, wet earth presses on my coffin
and seeps into my bones, that in the night
I find no peace to compensate my sin
the audience, staring intently at my grave
popcorn in hand, ready to tear me apart,
leaving nothing for the scavengers
— is that not what makes our new world brave?
no longer will the dead fasciliate a start
take me home and hang me up next to the antlers
make sure this corpse sleeps lightly
wondering what the next life has in store
that in my sleep of death what I see
will be a CEO demanding I do more
