Ravenous

“Firefish” by Pikaole

In the river of death

The crossing is impossible

“One last drink”, the damned soul asks the boatman

He denies

Just an only creature

Can see both worlds

The future unknown is here to stay

“There’s a time to die”, said the boatman

The damned soul is not afraid

And insults the boatman

The boatman said:

No one can escape the destiny

And the only witness to it all

Back to the living world

In your ravenous silence
