a soul around (year 8)

from 8 by GRABEK

lyrics

Being dead hurts. His first lucid thought after having died is just this. “Being dead hurts.” He says it out loud, relishing the fresh sharp timbre of his death tone. The simplicity of having spoken; this act of unadulterated speech overwhelms him to tears. In death he is delighted to own a voice which follows the commands of his thoughts, producing audibly ordered phonemes; very unlike the chaotic babble which persecuted him throughout his early years after birth. In life he had been plagued by never actually having owned a claim to his own birth. There were others who had publicized convincing airs of remembering more or remembering better. There were even those who insisted that he couldn’t have remembered anything, not the slightest iota. One way or another his memories had been dismissed. But lookeehere: not a soul around.
