A Necessary Evil
Death, you sullen duality,
          kissing babies with your
          glacial lips.
Pallbearer of the everlasting;
          your ceaseless breath, like
          a Nordic wind,
          chills the lock that holds
          the soul.
Companion to war, famine, pestilence.
Your verdant horse a sickly transport.
Hades, your page,
          making room for your cargo.
No choice in duties,
          unluckiest Angel.
