no surprises left as we
prepare our last march
who knew immortality
would cost this much?

No surprises left – such a feeling of hopelessness wrapped in those words. Well written, Frank. I always enjoy reading your words.

You blend the mortal and the immortal very well here, Frank. It’s a human poem with hints of the supernatural.
