the new death

the new death
is not unexpected.
almost three years is a long
time to suffer
with no
escape.
as always, it's the ones
around
the dying
who suffer even more
in the absence of love,
of his presence,
his hand
upon their day.
the new death finally comes
in the night. he is
welcomed into
the next world, exiting this
one
with an exhale
and a quiet silencing
of heart.
