POEM: After Life

Here is an intentionally ambiguous poem about life and after life. Meditate on it as you like, or not.

After Life

Like an unforeseen canon
He was blown away
At the tunnel alight
Having passed
Through the medium of ER
The calling
Of next of kin
What comes next?
What prospects after life?
An unexpected homecoming
A wake
The disbelieving trauma surgeon
Calls time
