three things, make the difference
know ing that it's by the door
tik tak and it enters
neither to deceive nor lure–

the second horror , the how
in my sleepmare and nigtmares
he hacks me body and soul
exercise full of nothing but pains

haven seen the time and the nature
counts the third that makes the difference

death is really painful
especially when you've seen
how painful you'll be taken
too bad to die young un gainful
though still the most noble

you might keep this –
my threnody
and render it a dirge
at my exequy.
