settle into the nether
where these gates of iron
protect the forgotten
your name forever etched
into limestone reminders
each long-ago worn smooth
no quarter, you have chosen
the opposite of living
you stepped inside to die
as Aries prompts your move
deep beneath this earthen berm
where light no longer shines
framed in sweet clover and vines
you settled for the shade
the words carved where you lie
i forgot i was alive
their imprints fade away
