it was a blood vessel, within the brain. that gave out.... too much thinking. no, more likely to be, a genetic imperfection. undectected until now. the brain, became flooded and succumbed...
it was mostly painless, if confusing... synapses firing, one last time. a fireworks moment, of absolute brillance. of knowing all questions and answers. of rememberance sublime.
and then the quieting of the soul.
the folding of the deckchair, the closing of the book, receding steps... some bars, of classical music. the light, being switched off. and the closing of the door.. all that is left .... is darkness
and the sound of distant... ...weeping
upon hearing of the passing of one of my mother's friends husbands death.... anuerysm...i did not know the gentleman... so the poem is more about the style of death, than the man. may he rest ip peace.
