From Ash Wednesday by James W. Bailey

A poem...I want to touch you...before you die...I want to kiss your lips...before they seal...I want to inhale your breath...before you choke...I want to close your eyes...before they open...for the last time...over a mound of red clay...over a dimensional casket...over a diamond cloud.
