what should be an invigorating freshness <br />a chill inside (shaking heart beats) <br />traffic on the road silent rising clanking passing <br />(silent again) <br /> <br />phone rings silence, recorded voice speaks <br />a real person with taped speech <br />(a recorded message would be better?) <br />selling cheap energy <br /> <br />i think i will buy some flowers <br />(petals coloured fragrance) <br />arrange them in a wreath <br />celebrate my death <br /> <br />reports of (my) death greatly exaggerated <br />until the silence speaks <br />with the voice <br />of great souls (departed) <br /> <br />come in they say <br />(here is the place) <br />to be; <br />alone in eternity.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-526/
