Rows of dried corn stalks bend
with the wind that
thirsts for rain
that will only come when it has died
and the ears of corn cease to rattle.

And the thunder's distant laugh
will chase after the snakes  
heading for their mounds on higher ground,
their husks abandoned-
the flash floods may yet pass them by.

An amazing poet honestly speaking. There is a significant degree of depth in her works, especially because her poetry deals with the self - its conflict, its indifference, its infighting, its struggles, its indifference... its a wonderful series of poems, and each one has something new to offer.
- My personal favourite of her works, still.

You guessed it... Death.
Today's prompt was a collective idea of this administration. So, we asked ourselves, how do we define it?
Here's what came about:
:iconpauper-circumstance:
Death is the parting of the soul from the body. That is my literary meaning of death. It is when we, as humans, pass onto another world. Or when we stop breathing.

There is actual death where a person just dies. ;)
Mental death is when a person goes crazy, dying from his sane self.
A person is also dead if he does not really "live" life. If he goes day by day wishing he were dead. In m
