Death Like Me

Death Like Me

                  for Nona


Pan is an afterlife, Shiva is no afterlife,
Pan is an afterlife and no afterlife, Shiva is no afterlife and an afterlife,
Pan is Pan, Shiva is Shiva, Pan is Shiva,
I is Shiva and Pan.

The electricity between the cells 
is the ghost.
These are words. Imagination.

I am here, a stratum of energy.
Dead, the energy I am is here.
I am a continuity of strata.
Death doesn't exist for me.

I remain the strata
or the strata is energy in general.

These are words, ideas,
and Death is a myth
like me.
