Some of us accept death . . .

. . . sometimes in faith . . .

. . . sometimes in despair.

But some refuse to die.

That’s where we come in.

A shallow grave's awaiting me
when they take me from this tree—
no prayers will be said
over that grim bed—
So all men die,
even I . . .

The wanderer told many a wonderful tale of dragons and kings and duels, but he was a liar. I know, everyone embellishes a story; that’s not what I mean. He’s a liar because he left something out. One story, my story. He doesn’t forget me, he hides me. I’m there in all of his tales, a shadow he refuses to see.
