Last thoughts after the realization of what has happened

lyrics

Assassinations


I’m not totally unconscious.
I know that, & that
The something awful has happened,
The too-often inevitable, the one of
Love’s worst fears.
I’m not quite afraid though of course
The shock system has taken over,
The rush of dopamines, all that
Science stuff-----
& yet some senses are lingering
Certain neurons, the nerves
Tangential tips….

From this point I mostly hear, hear
The picture, winds of murmurs at first
A roar, a form of jostling
Becoming a car, a platform, stair-like,
Now a flat conveyer lowered
As I rise-----I am rising, aren’t I-----
But in the deep, mainly spirit, cradled
Supine, my head on some lap, the tender
Feathers of fingers sweeping (hold)
Beseeching (on) nearly or
Suggesting (ok) it’ll (let go)
Be all right…
I know that voice, now mainly a
Whisper, nearest dear
There’s such a flood I’m above
Tunneling like waves stars over
How dark the boat’s glass hull
Remembering entirely finding
Almost there (light) every
Summer on the river (light) now
(light) I am embarked
