Scenarios: 2 men- 2 women

he saw his father take his last breath,
he once wrote an ode before this death,
in his sleep, he saw him drink from lethe.

although he wished his mind could undo
those vague thoughts, ban them, make them untrue.

he‘s written poems on afterlife
with words that now live, he’s weak and he
just threatened God with that long sharp knife.
