I will go into death
Singing
If I have breath.
And there is no doubt,
I will be dancing-
In life I could not do without,
So I will dance
In death.
One thing I know
I will be laughing
At the wry joke
Of singing
Even as I choke.
And dancing,
Even as I lie.
Such an unconventional notion
Of a way to die.
