Topic: Space (day 10)
This is a tribute to my distant cousin who just lost his life. I did not get the chance to know him personally but it is still chilling for me when I heard of the news, especially since he was my age. I wish him well in the after life. May he rest in peace.

Gaping heart
When men of
men ask of space
They talk the stars of stars that glow and shine
No. Space is
where he used to place
Where now I cry,
I weep myself blind
Where his
smell still lingers on the sheets
Where his
ghost still haunts my dreams alone
Where my
regrets redden, blazes and heats
'Cause space
is a cruel, gaping black hole
Thus with
the devil, I’d readily sell
My soul and life and material things
For a ticket
to the fires of hell
As Saint Peter sounds the judgement ring
If for a minute,
you may rise
And watch me
breathe my final sigh.
