In Death Renewed
Old by the numbers
refusing to give in
dying younger than the years prescribed
All feigned adulthood
to others entrusted
refusing life’s final goodbye
The music now was the music then
with one great love to see
me through
My body to the soil
my mind in defiance
—my soul in death renewed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)
