 My Death

I am a woman, old and gray.

And now I'm terminally ill.

Here in a hospice I will stay

Until death comes, and soon death will.

I'm more curious than afraid

Of how death will turn out to be.

Ninety years ago I got made.

Maybe I'll be made a new me,

Pop up in a new time and place.

I gaze out in a gasping breath.

Whatever's next, now soon I'll face.

And sure enough, I gaze at death.

A handsome, young man standing there,

So where he takes me, I don't care.
