She Wanted to Own Her Last Breath

She Wanted to Own Her Last Breath

Aunt Ethel spoke of being ill
Making a will
To share her voice
And make a choice

For final days of self- respect
To disconnect
The life support
To have a snort-

A farewell drink to bid adieu
To all she knew
A warm goodbye
Like apple pie.
