The right to die

A fight to exit
openly
with grace
she is drowning
from the inside
out
desperate for that final moment
of clarity
before she is too submerged
in her dying
to act.

I am short of breath
imagining
the immense quiet
of that precipice
that ending.

Perhaps it is too much to ask
but we have been invited
so deep
so publicly
into her choice
I hope her family
will share
the other ones
on that day
the song
the view
the last words she picked
to hang
in the air
before she closed her eyes
and flew
away.
