Let me live this life backwards,
retract
my very self
deep into me
boil another layer
of steam into mist
and
cook my own substance
down to pure essence
an athlete
preparing for a test until my spirit
is so clean
that I may leap
like an animal
joyously to the OtherSide
at my time
in an elegant death.
