The Trick Of Death

But the secret can only lead to death

The cancer will kill if left unchecked

It is the secret that holds off the healing

The secret is death itself

Stephen Pursell, 3/28/97

The blade will excise

The blade will bring the pain of life

Removing the malignancy

Bringing rebirth

No, the knife will save

But the knife will hurt too deeply, right?

Pain that needs to be cut out, released

Still the secret merely hides the pain

It then pervades all

So the cancer grows

A false mask over the pain

No, a secret is a salve on a cancer

A secret protects from pain, right?

What does it do?

Why is a secret?

What is a secret?
