drained, depleted,
strained, wearied,
emptied
I move
I breathe
thoughts
of ruination
of death,
struggling, failing,
despairing, fading
I move
I breathe
past indiscretions
remain,
past mistakes
linger
I am, I be
I breathe
There will be
no card games
at the funeral parlour,
no dancing
on my grave,
no smoking
at the cemetery
I will soar
with the eagles
toward eternity
I breathe
I breathe
