I’ve wondered what it’s like
to die slowly - drowning.
When does dying
become death?
On the last breath
when light fades,
or as the neurons
explode like fireworks
flashing each memory?

to die quickly - like Jesse.

blown away by buckshot.
Did it carry off his spirit
on a painless wind, or did he linger
until the hope of revival passed away
as the final twitch froze in place?
