deathcounts

[Doreen Peri]

what is the difference
between death and dignity?

both count

liars and corpses
liars and corpses
people dead without
a cause, a pause to
attempt to comprehend
a repeat beat of history
a beat historic to a
moment when an aorta meets
a bayonet –
suicide

cannot kill
a spirit and i hear

perfumed
fragrance, holocaust llike
a nightmare dream
denied in textbook
cases, frequented by
current whether
reports

death is not an issue
to skeleton's or ghosts

men use pawns
in chess

statistics
cannot speak
a soldier's
pyre

liars and corpses
dire matter

a real vajra budhist meditation
skulls and kali
it's the contemplation
of tragedies that befall
because the way is to follow
then the armies and the war

people dead without
a cause, a pause to
attempt to comprehend
a repeat beat of history
a beat historic to a
moment when an aorta meets
a bayonet –
