Death toll


Death come soon,

Death come slow.

Rip me away from unfinished work

don't bother chiding it's time to go.


Death leave my mourners

with words left unsaid

paint azure skies

the day I fall dead.


Death strike me with a viper's blow

Forget foggy dreams for final words,

where relatives confess grievances 

like lamenting birds.


Death do what you wish

on the day I die.

One request I have of you,

do not let them make a statistic of my demise.


The above poem is for the NaPoWriMo2021. Day 29.
