Explaining Death

One day

The lonesome horseback riders

Drift upwards under the secrecy of the fog

Creeping from the hidden black sea

Ascend the rugged cliff sides

One day

Shed tears drown out a raven’s call

Extracted discoveries interrupted

Forgotten past brought forth

Torture until the end

One day

Taken and stolen

Ended while the koto was played

Buried without a granted wish

Snow blanketed the warm coffin

One day

There will be no one

To explain to you

What happened to me

And I’ll be gone
