To live is to die.
Let me have one summer morebathed in light on a western shore
before I walk on through the door.
There I'll taste your softest kiss.
No mortal man can bear such bliss,
beholding all, forsaking this.
These old bones might last a while
yet pleasure here can not beguile
the sufferings of an earthly trial.
Take this old and wrinkled wreck
to stand on your resplendent deck -
the home stretch of my fleshly trek.
