Poem titled "Into the Unknown" by Michael Goldense.

It's a quirky ritual,
reading about existence
and death before bed.
I settle my mind
with this unsettling uncertainty:
what happens to us when we die?
These books offer guesses
dressed as wisdom
as I lie next to you.
My leg pressed up against yours.
My skin touching your skin.
We are in the only moment we know exists--
now.
The dread decouples from the existential.
I begin to fall asleep,
smiling into the unknown.
