home: unhappy end

[vintagehuman]

i am here
my unhappy end
my feelings
have met your eyes

in the hard years
you made it good
remember
all that you know

cowards creep
and brave men sleep
i should like to meet
my death

sorry all!
i have no wish
to pass onto
old age

but the gods kept dawdling
for incorrect offerings
and never called in
my days
