He does not die. He regenerates.
Like a plant in the spring, when a new shoot grows again.
While other plants wither and die he lives on.
He waits for them but somehow they never manage to break the soil.
He regenerates.
Like when the lights come back on after a power cut.
He waits for them but they remain in the darkness.
Their lights are broken.
He does not die.
Yet he is surrounded by death.
Wilted plants and broken bulbs.
He does not die. He regenerates.
