This poem is a collaborative effort. My gracious, wonderful collaborator is Robertina B. She provided the inspiration for this poem with the haunting line (below) from her poem "Deathbed," previously posted on her site:

The Anticipation is worse Than the thing itself: 'Tis the fear, not the flying-- 'Tis not the death, but the dying.
