Five Deaths

 I

Bitter in old age,
he foresaw nothing better.
He just wanted out.

II

Nightly rosary --
her ticket into Heaven?
I wouldn't be sure.

III

Ever since she passed,
I sense her spirit is here
when crows lurk about.

IV 

His was a half life
and had been for many years.
His death, no great loss.

V

Her passing was slow.
She faded into her sheets
and then she was gone. - Jeff Barnes
