mental exercise
number seven
sit down next
to one you are fond
of who’s about to die
(it’s all right to choose
a cat if you
feel that would
make it
easier) place your hand
on this person or creature
and feel the disease raging
in there in the body
OSpFpSpGpF
feel how
the cancer’s primadonna
is dancing on her
mountain of black varnish
how life
is fighting its
final battle and
slowly ebbing away
do not show the slightest
sign of fear
why should you
do that anyway it’s not
you who have to die yet
OSpFpSpGP
now say in a firm
and clear voice:
there is no such thing as death
death is only a
transition to
eternal life –
go on say it
i mean: you are
a christian aren’t you –
you haven’t just had water
poured over your head
it actually meant
something – didn’t it?
OSpFpSpGpS
continue with
even greater emphasis
and without
trembling: Oh death
where is thy sting
Oh grave where is
thy victory –
see the dying one right
in the eyes and
say it loud and
clear – you don’t want
to make a joke of the
scriptures do you?
OSpFpSpGpG
refrain from
crying show no
grief – there is
no reason for it
it is a happy
event you are
present at – isn’t it?
it is when all
is said and done
the final miracle
in the seventh night
so phone death
and get it over with
