The duel begun in earnest
Where the waters sway her hips against her banks
Where spirits lurk to play cricket
Where my soul drank waters of thirst
I looked amongst the crowd
To see an acquaintance
But I only heard the roar of his name
His battle songs
Even then, I couldn’t be my only fan
Only my faint feintly breath
Reminded me of me
Only my tired vague sweats
Reminded me
That I’ve not yet, no not yet
Crossed the grave of life
To the heaven of hades

I dueled with death
And he won
