King of my Coffin

Disease spreads, friends suffer, wounds fester,
The leaves fall, the cold bites, the people dazed,
Lulled by melodies, charmed by colors, felled by feeling.
I lie alone,
Under a wooden roof,
On a wooden floor,
Surrounded by wooden walls,
Under the ground.

King of my coffin.
Unfeeling.

Written in October 2011.

Minutes before a paper summary deadline swooshed by.

King of my coffin, the King's tomb -- I shouldn't be thinking of Mummies, but I am.

"Felled by Feeling". I like that.
