Dying Together Poem by Goddo Faggotte

We are dying together even as we live apart.

The hitching red-tide, rides the hunching wave,
like Death hidden in each life.

A slinking cloud - moon,
camouflaged as a barren nightsky rock,
beams down satellite pulses
to swell and surge the tides out in the deep below.

Ever drawn to the washed-up shores of our lives at sea,
rolled and rumbled until smooth as pebbles,
we are scattered to die together
on deserted beaches.

Naïve Life, allowing Death refuge
among us as we live apart,
only to die together stranded upon a beach
buried in the sand,
alone in our togetherness.
