Reason Why Death Cries

We think we know the reason why Death cries
despite wretched attitude of false hope
because we refuse to accept with grace
finality of nothingness that blows
dark wind of sorrow through shadowy woods
where moon girl kneels beside mirror-black lake.

Reluctant huntsman of the monstrous heart
lurks shyly cautious under willow tree
that rustles fearfully in sudden breeze
excited by breath of the mushroom toad
whose eyes scream lightning storms of honesty
till shimmering rain reveals portal of fate.

Through swirling fog of rancid ecstasy
sly moon girl glides bravely toward flashing star
while plucking honeysuckle blooms with care
to analyze state of world politics
with vivid insight into primal cause
that sparks world revolution of the rich.

Clutching grief that writhes in back of her mind,
moon girl bears loaf of bread with solemn fear
across muddy meadow of skeletons,
that rise from dripping constancy of faith,
to host grand ritual of exploding eggs
from which new generation of gods crawls.

Throwing snowballs at each other in play,
moon girl and huntsman with the monstrous heart
laugh gayly till their grief dissolves in tears,
then lounge together in the book cafe
and drink ginger mochas with loving smiles
while Death plays romantic tunes on guitar.

Folding our entire universe of worlds
in dainty book of illustrated poems,
moon girl hums melody of falling leaves
to ponder why death always seems to cry
with sorrow when organic creatures die,
then fills out application for the job.

With open-hearted joy of studious dance,
moon girl beams her immortal soul of genes
through bright rose window of deliberate faith
in rays that slant across cathedral space
more vast than ocean vistas of respect
as she types laughter through the radio.

Concealed in million books of faceless ghosts,
cute honeybees avenge untimely death
of pregnant moon girl on the highway bridge
where bitter huntsman with the monstrous heart
cradles naive bride in helpless despair
at sudden randomness of weeping death.

Orpheus films scene where huntsman cradles mortally wounded moon girl in protective arms, then cries cut as they all cheer and pack equipment in trucks.
