"If I Should Die Tonight"

"When Everything Meets Nothing"

By Rayyan Joseph Published 7 months ago 1 min read

If I should die tonight

it would be like stepping out onto a big pond’s

lily pads with all the other frogs

combing out my hair and

flames falling onto a plate

the horse muzzle that follows me

finally coming so close I can

feel its breath

sweet as clover all over me and the

sheer delight of simply galloping

Hills become flat and

broad valleys rolling

Sky melts back into its

first kaleidoscope

rotating its rainbows

White gloves handle me

and swans crowd the air with an

avalanche of feathers rising on its

updrafts

I’d say goodbye to everything at once

and hello to God Who would

come through the aether to catch me

afloat as always but now with even

greater buoyancy

Let giraffes crowd around my bed

their sexy eyelashy eyes shining as the

whole bed rises

and all the windows of the world

open of their own accord

to let me out into the sound of

tubular bells and gurgling waters and

newborns opening their eyelids for the

first time and

looking around

their inner light blending with the

light they’ve been born into

where everything happens and

nothing happens

in the instant of our lives and deaths

but this

sudden awakening
