A friend of mine said
that he imagined his body
at one with the earth,
surrounded by heavy warmth.
I said I thought
I would go into the air.
A lightness would float me
in clear pleasure.
Sometimes I almost feel
a shape walking beside me,
one of the clear ones
who has gone before.
Yes, for me, it's clarity,
not pressed down by the earth
but looking down upon it,
enjoying all that I have left,
all who can no longer see me.
