for my children
I've created scenarios around my eventual death,
sometimes a swan-like Camille in her finest performancec,
sometimes a fistful of shout like Eleni, "for my children".
I know nothing for sure, and each day
brings me to the cold rapture of sky--
Basho's poem and its scorpion sting.
Dying into this. Dying into this.
Splash.
