As a Card |
I’ll hold my own death as a card in the deck |
To be played when there are no other cards left |
I’ll slip into the ocean, unnoticed |
And notify no one on a notarized form |
Enter slow on a hot summer morning |
Like that one-legged locksmith in cold rain |
But I’ll hold my own death as a card in the deck |
To be played when there are no other cards left |
As time drags on and I thin and whiten and my beard grows long |
I might look like Walt Whitman |
All sunken-eyed and dry and without pigment |
But I want to be spry as a newborn kitten |
And I’ll hold my own death as a card in the deck |
To be played when there are no other cards left |
I want to open like the bay does to the ocean |
With an equal portion of every emotion |
Or soldier forward and be hard as a flat board |
With the heart of an approaching asteroid |
Let go and ride like a cat’s toy in a dryer |
Stay true to my matter like a brick in fire |
Wrapped in my long years like a spool of wire |
Unspoiled by the foils of fame and desire |
So I’ll hold my own death as a card in the deck |
To be played when there are no other cards left |
Hold my own death as a card in the deck |
