was talking about death
and

spoke
out of turn
whispered and
shouted
no hooded Bergman Bill

chess twister figure
standing
before me
to attach to this voice
no death companion or
compadre with

not a soul crossing back
with iconic death mark

as abstract concept or
physicality reality

death was done
and
dusted
done and gone
pretty certain though
he had made a call
