Death is a gentleman in a weathered trench coat.
His sunglasses shield his burning eyes. The ample holes in his shoe take in spare souls, who have wallowed in their meths misery. Death has no fear of subways or crossroads. His mission is too precise, conjurer of tricks repenters can never work it off. He licks his lips with each given soliloquy Those are the tastiest of souls and before you know it you're hitchhiking to the West is his way ·······  ·······Imagination fires the soul, resolution the longing.

Going West is a metaphor for death coming from an early 60s Twilight Zone episode ' The Hitchhiker ", where a lady unknown to herself had already died and whilst driving to the West being followed by the hitchhiker thumbing his way to her end destination . A further connection pictures the unexplored wilderness of 19th century USA, read as danger.
Thank you to everyone who commented on my poem . The pointers on plurals was appreciated and followed ······· ·······Imagination fires the soul, resolution the longing.
