I am currently watching
and listening to someone
who is wishing to die.

Aged 95 with an unresolved
family issue, that she will
take to her watery Irish grave.

From a beach, combers wait
the doomed destiny of this
vessel in distress.

Family squabbles over wills or
wants, the spoils of a low water
mark, to be left by her ebbing tide.
