One last hiccup and then peace.
Death, you should
Strike me
Like a flash of lightning.
No suffering, no pain;
Just one last
Half breath
And the hands should freeze.
In just one flicker,
You should
Bless me
With eternal rest.
With just one gentle stroke,
You should
Lull me
To eternal sleep.
No pain, no suffering;
O Death,
You should gently
Tuck me in.
