Every Poet's Concern


Mortality is every poet's concern.
We ponder, consider, maybe wish to learn.

Death is a desperate man's last refuge-place,
a last way to save himself anguish, save face.

So have I thought about dying?  Stupid question.
I've taken it both philosophically and as a suggestion,

But the point I come back to is so far life's given
Me a hundred ways to die, but only one chance at livin.
