THE MEANING OF DEATH (IN LIFE)

There is a meaning in death

only in life.

In death

there is no meaning.

Death is beyond

life and beyond

cosmos and beyond

everything.

Death erases

all meaning,

everything that was.

Death is what

was before the universe:

Complete absence of everything.

Void is filled with promise.

Death is what void

is to the core of a star.

Only on this side,

one heartbeat

away,

is there meaning for death

and meaning for life

and meaning

for all the words

in this poem.
