rosebud

will we

each have a Rosebud

moment

when the time to close

your eyes

one last time

arrives?

will there be some

childhood

toy, some thing

that gave you joy

throughout

your life?

is there a possession

of some sort

that you've

saved

and hidden from the world

making it safe

that will make you smile

and cling

to its thought

as your breath slips

away

into night.
