Not Suicide Poem by Ronald Shields
Not Suicide
Like an elephant.
Like the Man on Wire.
Like anyone, I want it
on my own terms.
Like a dog in your arms,
a cat, or a lion in the bush.
Like a bear in the mountains.
I want to die like a whale
in the gulf stream
surrounded by the
warm familiar currents
of my childhood.
