Go Quietly

Neither of us will go quietly.

That was obvious from the first.

Her moans and denials and fight are only restrained by the liquid morphine that courses through her veins.

She will not go quietly.

 

On the way to see her.

On the way to see her for the last time.

I did not go quietly.

The sounds of the engine and the radio could not be heard over my shrieks and sobs.

 

When the end comes

neither of us will go quietly

even if we don’t make a sound.

    For all the humor on your blog, you’ve really been able to chronicle this time with your aunt in an intense way. It feels as if we are looking in on something we shouldn’t be seeing. I know it’s real, and maybe that’s why it’s almost traumatizing for me to read, and I’m not overstating that fact. The rawness of it shows who you are as a person and a writer. It’s some powerful stuff, M’Lady.
