Death

 Death is the only promise birth can keep

Evolution decided that from life’s invention

But in between are countless stories

Not all human, mystery everywhere

An anthill or a coral reef 

A few miracles, some sublime

Most never noticed by any history

Death occupies all the stories

In the empty space after the grave

Live all our most inventive conjurings

Because where else would we store our dreams
