one more

pour me one more
cup before i go.
i'm going to alaska.
i'm in love with
no one, and want
nothing but a white
endless range of
blowing snow. i want
to feel the cold
on my face as i
stand beneath the
brilliant blue sky.
i want to know
once more what it
feels to be alive.
pour me one more
cup before i go.

I like this one. One change the writer might consider -- take out the first and last lines. Makes it cleaner and to the point. I mean unless you are trying to say something to your readers with "pour me one more cup before I go." I took that to mean that the writer really doesn't want to go to Alaska and is trying to convince himself that he does. Was I right? Either way, I like it without the "pour me one more cup before I go."
