BE NOT PROUD
BE NOT PROUD
Bandol( where I )almost
drowned
my fingertip caresses the map
Port Yerrock
where I alas...was saved
suicide can be so difficult these days
some dogooder being brave
I cursed him
for the rest of my days
that was in 1938 or '39
funny now
I lie dying in 1999
who would have thought
I would have made it all the way to today
now a me un-eager to go away
Death comes to visit
brings the usual grapes & flowers
"Now. . ?" "Not yet.." says Death
Death
not at all who or how I
imagined it to be
Death
smiles
takes my hand &. . .
the clock ticks on
past her death
the barometer registers a change in pressure
