The inspiration for this writing came from two sources. This winter my partner and I lost 4 people we knew in a period of 2 weeks. I also stumbled across this Marcus Aurelius quote:
Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what’s left and live it properly.
What doesn’t transmit light creates its own darkness.
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

The lyric is as follows:
Drink my blood
Whilst you can
For deaths rasp
Takes me

Drink my veins
Or fly too far
Hold me not in between

Rock on pebble on sand
Fly egg on brain matter
Eternity not in time
