Dying in the Woods

The time will come

when I will walk away:

a farewell tour escaping bed-

ridden incarceration

before the doped dozing;

the un-tethering.

I will limp among the pines

scenting their needles

and remembrance’s lust,

which will only soften,

make more palatable,

my final meal of leaves

and tiny creatures;

my final savorings

plucked from ample offerings

.

    This is stunning, Leo. I love your description of letting go and dissolving into other life.
