The Stillness in the Room
Was like the Stillness in the Air -
Between the Heaves of Storm -

The Eyes around - had wrung them dry -
And Breaths were gathering firm
For that last Onset - when the King
Be witnessed - in the Room -

I willed my Keepsakes - Signed away
What portion of me be
Assignable - and then it was
There interposed a Fly -

With Blue - uncertain - stumbling Buzz -
Between the light - and me -
And then the Windows failed - and then
I could not see to see -

After announcing that she heard a fly buzz when she died, the speaker describes the moments that led up to this event. The first stanza describes the silence of the room before she died as like the quiet between two phases of a storm.]]> 2018-11-15 13:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/santi503/svuek4wenzmf/wish/304771284 poem santi503 https://padlet.com/santi503/svuek4wenzmf/wish/304772118 2018-11-15 13:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/santi503/svuek4wenzmf/wish/304772118 End question santi503 https://padlet.com/santi503/svuek4wenzmf/wish/304772403 What sound would you hate to listen to before you pass away? ]]> 2018-11-15 13:14:18 UTC https://padlet.com/santi503/svuek4wenzmf/wish/304772403
