Death came

when a giant old clock stops to tick
it wouldn’t receive as much as it gave
but enough to remember what it told
its time will spread on lips and in ears
it would be true more than twice a day.

If the skies don’t weep, there’s no rainbow
if forced to march, what use is the band?
our skin colours have the same difference
home is having one’s eyes closed without
fear of the cloud pulling its blanket from us

one that wouldn’t learn to knock was
here to take you to where we don’t know
to rest in peace is a choice made on earth
you committed to serving and you served.
God save the queen. Long live the king.
