Peacefully
thoroughly she hammered the last one
nail securely into the door
she smiled to herself, she never had been
good at carpeting but this would keep
them out for a good while at least
her favorite song, a good glass of wine
all how she planned it for a while now
her days grown darker and darker
so she couldn't find a glimpse of the sun
her life had been slipping as sand through her fingers
knowingly she had decided how to spend
her precious time left here, while looking out the
window a bird was dancing on the wind
she spread her arms wide and imaged
how it would feel to have her own wings
