204. Just Silence

The elephant charged
Or was it a truck?
I didn’t really care
I was crushed
Beneath the weight
Life taken prematurely
Blackness did come
My mind was empty
No light to guide
My going home
I passed quickly
Through locked gates
No music or angels
Greeted me
Just silence
I remember nothing
Except one thing
The smell of alcohol
In the air
