8/30/2004


I am
alive and well
but reminded
again
this morning
after
sleeping soundly
through the night
unusual enough
that
I cannot remember
when
I didn’t know
I was going to die
and
while I hope
to be ready
when
my turn comes
the sadness and grief
in the pit
of my stomach
which will pass
I know
as I
attend to the day
measure time
more poignantly
than I would like.
