Holding Hands with Death/ Niklas Stephenson
Somewhere
inside my shivering mind
hope and regret
skip through lucid landscapes
holding hands
with a canister of oil,
ready to burn down
my past
and the societal norms
pushing down on me.
They've already found
the memory of you.
The future waits,
smiling,
holding hands with death.
