Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
The futile fury at the inevitable,
wasting the final few bright moments

went grateful to his end,
the anger all for Dylan -
it’s the living have time for such things.

at least one outrageous thing every week.” ~ Maggie Kuhn
