For AM and
DC-- Dallas, 2003
My last
concern is what comes after this,
not only
from my fear of needless pain
but also
from the sense of my hubris;
and
hoping not to leave something undone
I
struggle to complete my life in time
to feel
a little settled on all scores—
it
really is a hopeless paradigm,
calling for no loose ends and no encores.
I can
recall this clearly on a day
when yet
another friend has taken leave,
unexpectedly
as one might say—
but then
I should suppose one should receive
a
dispensation and at last away
without
a care for those now left to grieve.
