I do not want to say the long goodbye.
To have it short and sweet is my wish when I die.
I say no to COVID but yes to all of you
No to lymphoma, glioblastoma.
But yes to your eyes and heart and your goodbyes.
We will not get what we want,
our desires wishes thwarted inopportunely.
To meet our end with peace can be a most difficult thing
but love and morphine can ease the path.
I'll take a modicum of gracefulness and ease
surrounded I hope by love,
support, cradling arms . . . .
as we bid the other the long goodbye.
and ease, ever so gently . . .
into that long good and graceful night.
