He died as the toads ceaselessly
croaked from the culvert
outside
died
sometime whilst old movies
flashed silently on a void
tv screen,
died with one leg left - the other
blown off at Ima Jima
when he was 19 years old,
died to join his wife in the
giant fantastical where ever,
family in knots and priest
chanting the last rites as
candles wave fluid glow
sparkle,
no confessions left, everything
spent as toads ceaselessly
croak blurt call before the
winter wraps them up
in death.
