Life After Death

today I made peace with a known enemy

Sarah said that she didn’t
belive in anything, anymore,
not after the car crash, not after Steven
died, not after her stay in the hospital,
not after the funeral, no not anymore.

What people are made of isn’t
really that impressive, just blood
and guts, just a dark stain on concrete.

Sarah said that she doesn’t believe
in life after death and the weight of the
implication crushed me.
