lagilman: coffee or die (dandelion break)
[personal profile] lagilman
off a prompt over on FB, and in the echo of word that Joanna Russ has died....

--------------

This –
Nothing more than this-
A final flag,
The tankard’s dregs.
One slow lap around the course
Breath shuddering, legs a-tremble.
This corpse is full of birds
And
Falling, I let them take wing.

Wow. Loving the last three lines.

Also, it happens to everybody eventually, but I gotta say, definitely sad news despite not being of direct personal relevance to me.
