Threads Unraveling

death struggles to understand
the complex anomalies of the birth of a
new life given freely in conception
of a time undeserved of happy endings
brought upon by beginnings wrought of frowns and sweaty palms
of violent sex
chosen by the need to know that death
himself will awaken with the birth of a
child conceived with the knowledge that you
come into this world with a plot already picked out
