“Death” by Mike White

DEATH

She brushed it aside
and brushed it aside

as we all did
the fly that kept
landing in her casket.

Mike White: “A sizable portion of what I write would best be described as ‘whistling in the dark’ around death. The whistling gives me some peace, and even some pleasure.”
