Wither XII

Wither XII

Taryn Murphy

i used to think it strange to pray for the dead
but now i am asking you
to pray for me.
la mort m’a debordé
avant mon coeur a arrêté.
is resurrection more beautiful than birth?
did they love lazurus more
after he awoke?
reviellez-vous, reviellez-vous,
est-ce que vous avez trouvé votre Dieu?
i never understood why everyone hoped
that death would be an eternal sleep.
nothing ever killed me more than
indifference.
donnez-moi le paradis
ou donnez-moi l’enfer
vous pouvez garder le vide.
