Deaths point of view

I wrote this shortly after my uncle died a few years ago.  

Looking down from the clouds

i watch the people passing

oblivious

no one notices me

why should they

i am waiting for my turn in their lives

little kids by ice cream

adults go to work

something stirs

a shot is fired below me

my time is now

i descend

i gather up the victim 

and go back to the clouds

waiting for more

it shouldn't be long
