These Last Days*
These I reckon
are the last days
I've no reason
to welcome praise
or fear rejection
my life has spoken
even the vilest judgement
I'll bear--my spirit shall not be broken-
words escape me
there's no need for penance
immune to adversity
shorn of rancour and pretence
these I accept
as the last days
there's no regret
life has not been a waste
* after Emily Dickinson
