I sat in the Sun today.
The Light warmed my face
And the Wind brushed my cheek.

The Air was clean
And as children laughed,
I thought: This is what the healthy do.

I drank my tea,
Watched the ducks swim by;
I even tried to breathe deep.

But my chest was tight
And a knot sat in my throat.
In this beautiful painting, I sat
And thought: How lovely it’d be to die.
