• The Tempest

From his first day to his last
he knew far too much of death,
from his father’s failing heart
to two wives’ final breaths.
All the life that he saw
lost in that Axis camp in Italy
and through his old age watching friends
congregating in the cemetery.

I remember watching as he lay dying,
all shrivelled and small and grey.
Fearful of the death I saw in him
even though he wasn’t afraid.
Because it made me think about the future,
about how we try to forget that
an endpoint is rushing towards us all
even though we think we’ll never be next.

But it’s not being dead or what comes next
that fills me so with fear
(for knowing what awaits me is
the one truth that I hold dear).

Oh God, if you take my wife
then please take my life,
don’t leave me here alone.
But please don’t let us die too young,
don’t let us die too old.
