Listening Again to Shani Laughing
What loss
In yr life, like losing life
For yr life is touched with all lives
What is closer than the life
You give, what loss greater
Than the life you gave, the life
Inside
What loss is deeper, what pain more horrible
None, none, there is
None…

Shani had a perfect idea
Of her self
She knew exactly what her self
Her perfect little self
Shd be
And she beed it
3
I tell you Evil
Is the reverse
Of what is live
Not just death, but
Something that can never
Live.
4
Not the thought
Of dying
But of never having
Been alive
That is the craziness
That haunts
Things that want
Yr life
