The world of the dead
While in the underworld, one only sees dead things.
—
We wake up dead, we walk dead, we eat dead things and exchange dead words.
We make dead love, admire dead art and birth dead souls into being.
We expect death to happen sometime in the future,
overlooking the true death we are already under.
We think ourselves to be alive, while omitting the decomposition
happening each moment of each day.
Killing one another to keep ourselves more dead.
Our very being dying and being eaten alive, while we imagine living.
What a marvelous mother this womb we are in.
—
Dying for the dead means being birthed for the living.
