A Toast With Death

Manu Mohan M 1998 (Alleppey)

Oh my Death
How lonely your frequency is
It has been eons, my old friend

Will you help me, oh Death
To strip me off my mask and clothes
So that I can melt into the Universe

Tell me, Death
Will you contain me?
Ah yes!

You contain masks and clothes
But you can't contain me
For I am parallel to you

How unfortunate! No matter
We shall meet once again!
Before I go, I'd like a glass of wine!
