Death Watch

Death can take many a turn… and it’s usually not for the better… it may as well be the end of a life or snatching a soul in its prime… or worse still planned by an evil hand doing wrong… life always kills you eventually…

We may live and learn we may toss and turn… we live and lie… hard facts of life…

But, most of all, how do we survive life ?

We are completely estranged from death… and even life…

Death comes to claim her dues and has the knack of occurring at awkward times… catching us unawares… like choosing to ignore we may already be standing our shaky ground… death sticks to its guns… and fires at will… at sitting ducks…

Loners might die their lonely way… but how do singled partners in a couple live when the other one has died ? One may go without the other and yet the other will soon follow… God bless the child who has lost his parents… the parents who have lost their child… life goes on beyond death… beyond life…

This collection takes many looks at death… ranging from and experience through to fiction… in essay and poetry and in prose…
