What is real
What is fake

Life
Death

Is anything real
Life can’t be real not with what happens in it
Pain like raindrops scatter life across desolate plains—
Plains of mind, plains of skin, plains of the desert kind

Scarlet drips
Life flares

Moments everything has

A final stand
A final reason

Last regrets never to be told

What is life but real
What is real but life

If life isn’t real?
