On death and dying
My loves, please do not mistake
this for an invitation to die.
I do not want any of you to die
yet, so please do not.
But if by mistake it does happen I will
not cry for you.
No, I will cry for me because you are not here
To cry with me.
My love, if death sneaks up on you
Like the thief it is, I will not report
A burglary. I will take our butter knife and
Go...
