YET AGAIN

I don't know why
don't know how
but time only fled

then people traveled
one of them was me
everything once close
now hail from a distance

So I pray ovens to bakers
butter to bread owners
roofs to souls trapped in a season
because it rains here too sometimes

but every time I pick up a call
someone once close had died
so I live my moments with a chest

knowing someday
someone will pick a call on my demise
it's wintry on earth for how cold we all came

We all held in a shell of breath
dying to lose it all one day
I'm dead scared again
