reaper's list
reaper's listladen with lightning
and rain
-- night fell
drear day followed
-- wet
- cold
from yonder precincts
clouds more formed
west -- a little north
portending more rain
while reaper reads his
list of those
waiting in line to leave
at which he will
be in
-- attendance
on pyroclastic mounds
of powdered bones
deep as last winter's snowdrifts
-- last breath breathers
queued up -- some
ready to go -- some not
as movie goers
standing on line
for next feature film
not even having
read
-- the reviews
some or most
have hung many a -- veil
between their brain and truth
-- dying in darkness.
