One
who gives life
also takes life.
Yes,
when oxygen
goes into a sulk,
the body
becomes a carcass
showing
the ostentation
that nobody watches.
The money,
the vainglory
all fail
to make it totter
even for once.
Crematorium
waits
with eagerness
to celebrate its end
knowing that
it can never
rise like a Phoenix
from the ashes.
