for my children

I've created scenarios around my eventual death,
sometimes a swan-like Camille in her finest performancec,
sometimes a fistful of shout like Eleni, "for my children".

I know nothing for sure, and each day
brings me to the cold rapture of sky--
Basho's poem and its scorpion sting.

Dying into this. Dying into this.

Splash.
