We probably don’t know
we are dying
when we are dying.
After we are dead it is too late.
Through a doorway
never in a doorway,
just one room
then,
the other.
An awe:
there is probably no
this is it –
just extinguishment.
No goodbye,
just gone.
Christ says give up,
Christ says, give.
Buddha agrees, adds,
say goodbye
each moment
your whole life
only in this way you live.
