Practicing to Die
(Grease Bubbles, 2021, original photo)
Practicing to Die
Laying in bath
An inner vision of geometric patterns
Dances around a swirling kaleidoscope
Dizzying as an ocular migraine.
So lulled in self-hypnotic repose
Effortlessly I imagine dying
Completely at peace
No thought of attraction or aversion.
No sense of depression or despair
Just another moment
Out of time
Out of mind.
Living with the inevitable,
Practicing to die
I wake again
Refreshed.
