If death


A quietly laid out funeral

In a square space

Uneven dark grey walls shroud the dead

Few observers

A skin-like fabric covers me

But you can still see my closed eyes and pale lips behind the almost transparent fabric

There were no invitations

Except for the occasional passerby or who deliberately scouted out the address

The music was broadcast from a stereo in the ceiling

It's experimental music played intermittently by stringed instruments

Occasionally interspersed with non-human voices

It plays until the electricity in the stereo runs out

Most of the visitors are silent

No bouquets of flowers

No rhetoric

No one asks why they died




As for the outside world

Whether or not the world outside has changed in the slightest as a result of this death

Is not a matter of concern for the dead
