Subject: Meeting Death (unfinished first draft)

I met death
in a dream
it was a black bear
in shallow water
I was given
an extension
to say final farewells
there was a finite
line
I could not see
or know
and he would not
tell

As far as I could tell
there was nothing wrong
with me
or the other creatures
swimming merrily along
it was just our time

He sat at the top
of the stairs
in the house
I have become
emotionally attached to
as if he was just waiting
with no deadline
or hurry

But the implication
was clear as the sky
after a good rain
