Oh, she said
Death is not the end
Inescapable
But I'll see you again
Will you summon me?
Will you speak my name?
Tables turning
Death is not the end

Slow motion
Let it wash over
Unspoken
Like the mouth that eats the tail
I keep hoping death is like the ocean
And I'm floating
An angel in the kelp

Died a thousand deaths
Rise to live again
Shapeshifting
She said, death is inescapable
But death is not the end
I'll see you again

This life heaves a sigh
Relief amid night
To water I return, in sea-dress
Seal-skin locked away for a time

Slow motion
Let it wash over
Unspoken
Like the mouth that eats the tail
I keep hoping death is like the ocean
And I'm floating
An angel in the kelp
