Death is a cat
Creeping on silent fur paws
Death is a dog
Gouging the floor with its claws
Death is a calm day
Dappled light in the glare
Death is a hurricane
When cars take to the air
Death is a bicycle
Gliding silently through
Death is a dump truck
Speed bump hopping near you
Death is a teacup
Sipped with a smile
Death is chum bucket
Slopped overboard without style
Death is death
The end of the this
And the start of what’s next
Despite what we wish.
