Wax and filigree
fill the form of the palace.

A cantankerous old shit
sits in the same damn place he always sits.
In an effort
Not to cry, he grimaces all the harder.

Afterlife, Afterlife,
he thinks, as if receiving a strange phonecall. Never heard of it.

But we were never even born,
he concludes , and cries.
