The Death Zone

When I think of death I thinkof Peter Falk in The Princess Bride pattinghis pockets as he leaves the room

+

Life is a series of doors or sothey say but I ask them thiswhere does that last door lead?

+

For Falk maybe it leads backstagea black-walled catered affair with stagelights slowly baking stale muffins

+

Sweaty cheese leaking onto dried-outgrapes a chocolate fountain cloggedby some errant strawberry crown

+

but this is not where it leads for you orfor me that door opens onto darkness markedonly by a trellis or the lid of a casket

+

the door of the earth’s womb openingfinally to accept us and with us the dirtnot to grow more strawberries for Falk

+

but to pad his feet as he walks overheadto visit someone he certainly cares aboutbut whose name is lost to posterity.
