Death Calls You By A Name Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

Death Calls You By A Name

Death walks in strange places of different countries, in fair weathers, and random skies,
And covers her trails with the spade of the dusts,

Andnighttime mists to covers for an assassins knives,
And strayed bullets from the omni directional corners of a beseiged world,

Takes the kitchen knife from the cupboards, andplunged like deadly sycthes,

Deep sluices and open wounds into the intimate places,
The heart and the important arteries,

Into the myths of fallen kingdoms
Andnature worships and nature sacrifices,
And the ancestral homes in the skies,

To call you man by the name of a stars,
And sends you back to eternity to where you belong with no trace of a beginning,

Hiding in the black sense of secrecy to declare you absent,

From the neighborhood,
You wife waiting with her cold meals,

The child asking for the fathers name,
The tomb of the unknown soldier,

Death connives with dictators, jilted lovers, and war commanders,
And lost souls to renders its final justice.
With no trials, or quirky decisions,

To declare you dead on arrival from the busued roads and the tall skyscrappers,

Death on the sea, in land and by the air
Addingmysteries tothe unconscious stars.
