Afterwards

 death

a life
 finished 

all sewn up 

the final seam
that joins the edges
to make a ball?

(who will catch me? throw me?)

a bubble gum ball
that falls from the machine

(who will hear the gear grind?

the wheel turn?)

who will watch it? hold it?
 open it?

find inside
the faded fortune ticket 

see luck? 

or love? 

or riches?

my life inside the sphere

fulfilled

or failed?

condensed

finite
