End
Christy Brown

Dying is a curious thing.
Not that I have ever quite died
except briefly now and then
in a hot-headed poetic way.
There is nothing ingenious about it.
A quick dolphin-plunge
under black water
and after the first year of mourning
the daisies nod undisturbed on your grave.
I could die today with a little effort
with a well-sprung wish I could die today
quietly laughing or crying
without trumpet
without cerimony
without drawing conclusions
in Mount Jerome under the fine wet grass.

life just good
 
I couldn't agree more. Better still with art and poetry. Sorry I haven't posted anything in French, but I will. Pehaps something of Previn, like Feuille Morte, which I like very much. Liked your blog, fantastic comics.
