I eased into death
With my eyes closed
And my jaws set,
Like I did once
In the passenger seat
Making a wide left
Onto a busy street,
Resigned that it was too late,
And too good,
To avoid fate.

And what I found when I stepped through,
Was that there was nothing to step into.
I swallowed hard
And breathed a different kind of air.

And the turn was made,
And the traffic flowed,
And the rush
Of anode passing
Cathode
Wrote my name
In the night
Like a sparkler.

And beauty
Blushed into the night,
And failed,
And hushed
At the sight
Of Love
All bare and obvious,
And set on loving me
Back to Life.
