The Psychopomp

A Sonnet

Some eyes make blindness seem impossible

Reading life down to the final footnote

How good it feels to be so legible

You know the twists of my story by rote

I am surprised to have such faith in you

Four feet must know secrets that two do not

I feel no need to history review

What good is the past to the fish who's caught?

Putting things down is always a relief

Fighting gravity is baldly insane

A body is no basis for belief

They coalesce and fly apart again

Your follower I've been dying to be

Death to boredom: this is all new to me
