not enough adhesive [death]
not enough sutures
to repair your overloaded heart
not enough packing tape
to mail out your protected words
not enough waterproof sealant caulk
to fill the holes in your sinking ship
not enough epoxy resin
to cure your dismembered parts
not enough medical glue
to keep your jaw in place
not enough metal screws
to fix your spine up straight
not enough saponified hot wax
to pour over your innocent body
but alas -
we can all relax
if we never truly forget
that all is one
death is the natural binder
that makes it all stick together
like a melting snowball
of trapped worms and dirt
