My Quietus

Having long ago gone past The equinox, of my being Now, it’s only atrophy In myself I’m seeing Yet, I grudgingly march on To the solstice in my life A meeting with that grim And hooded thing, with scythe But, this journey to my destiny At the end of perdition’s road Is made, not with heavy heart But with joy, from easing of the load BOEMS BY JA 286

A load finally relieved by death? I love the descriptive words here. It does tend to drag, and pull the reader along to the end, which is very fitting here. good job!
