Observations Through Alien Eyes #2

Life is a fortress.
When we entered life we agreed
to push all the secrets of death into sleep.
Death contains the secrets
of the true workings of the world,
so much larger than life.
The warm universe
is a small pocket and

time is an artifact that makes brains work.
Why do I want to wander
beyond the fortress walls?
Will I be frightened
by what I see?
What will happen
when the I goes away?
Will there be an ice cold wind?
