When does the dying phase end?
My people
its cycle
The inspirational
The caretakers
My world
Have I approached this right of
Passage?
Now my 30’s
Is this what this cycle is?
While I was so careless and unaware before
A childhood dog
A goldfish, A cat
My heart again and again
Now I approach the death cycle
Mine
This is why mom never let us have pets
But that avoidance hasn’t prepared me for this
How to avoid the cycle?
To avoid death is to avoid community
Community dies and that is life
No one has died and I’m tightening my seatbelt
My people are going to die
And I can’t stop it
when this cycle ends, when I’m old and anyone I have ever needed is gone,
There will be me and my death
mine
