Ayaz Daryl Nielsen- Three Poems

This is the way our world will end

This is the way our world will end

This is the way our world will end

Not with a bang nor with a whimper

But with a sigh of relief.

a jacket pocket full

of small, smooth stones

extra weight, I guess, 

for my day becoming

between funerals                                  

mortician

a stiff drink
