Flatness

I would think much fonder of death

If I could look at it from another angle.

It stares at me head on

And I feel enchanted, almost

But no matter where I stand I can’t get around it

It stays two-dimensional.

The flatness of death is what scares me.

A void is cavernous, there is space to explore

But you cannot step through death, only to it.

And upon reaching it, compress

Flatten into a representation of yourself

A memory that no one else can pass through anymore.
