Her yard’s water puddle she fell into
face down and drowned in –
she loved gardening.
The elevator he fell
over in front of –
Artist Prince
loved elevating great artists.
Found dead in bathtubs, hot tubs, laying on beds –
was a lover, a dad, a mother, a friend
relaxing into some sort of self-care.
dead at home. at work. at a front gate.
in a forest. on a street. in a hospice.
in the air. in a lake, or a steam, tank, cave or ocean.
back of a house. in a car. a garage. in a school or at college.
We all die like we lived.
Think of travelers dead in hotels.
On a curb, behind a couch, inside a nightclub, on a movie set, in the shower, or a hunter suffocated head down – inside a rabbit hole.
At the bottom of a cliff. on a dark or bright highway.
escape and die up inside a hospital or motel room’s ceiling.
hanging from a tree branch or beam.
Where we die, when we die, this will have meaning.
