Death With Emerald Eyes Poem by John W. McEwers

Death With Emerald Eyes



I always thought yours would be
the last eyes I'd see in this world.

A long gaze from beneath clean white sheets
just turned, and your hand in mine as hospital
curtains curl toward my bed with a soft breeze
then a gust of air, and a choking, the image
of those green eyes burned into mine for a final
few moments.

There'll be no hand to hold.
But those eyes I'll still see.
