Premonitionary Presence

Frequently,
Death sticks its sticky fingers
Into my brain
And rummages through my drawers.

Always
The presence lingers
Deep in the part of the brain
That feels self-preservation.
The presence haunts me
Never to leave.

Where will I go?
To Perdition or Paradise?
To penalty of Purification?

Flames throughout my essence,
Ashes throughout my veins,
And screams throughout my soul.

Close to the gates of prison,
I think of Death.
Frequently.
