just this once death bites its tongue

441
death has the last word christmas day

440
if I must die

then I want to fall

into the sky 

439
poetry reading
showing up unannounced
death

438

inside the rose

brailling my way

to that last breath

437
November sun
I've signed up for the pre-death
butterfly dance lesson

    ~ after Santoka

436
nearing 59
I leave the cemetery gate
ajar

435
where we're going
that woman with the shy bladder
won't need a restroom

434
wanderlust  death's lure for the soul?
