Death Is Birth Poem by Kevin Patrick II

Death Is Birth

Death
Is birth
In reverse
where memory becomes a blank slate throwing back to the void as we return to sleeps womb
and that static peace of nothing like raindrops inside spaces ocean

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
this is a reverse nonnette, I thought with the subject what the heck. Similarly the idea came from the musician St. Vincent. Her song birth in reverse doesent explicitly mean what the title is, I just assumed its a statement that in death we return to being born. I dont know, but who knows.
