Analysis of Dylan Is Gone



Dying alone on foreign land,
  death now grips his blessed hand

Never choosing time or place,
  but method certain,
 —the Angels wait

An oak to fall on alien soil,
 all seeds to heaven thrown

His words cast free to light the dark,
  that ‘Good Night,’
  —now his own

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
