adapted from Murky truth behind Swiss suicide ‘clinic’ Dignitas
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article5006805.ece
At the confluence of Acheron and Styx,
He of keen gaze
Demands a coin
To ferry bodies to oblivion
Death is furtive in dirty rooms,
Personal effects fall under bug ridden beds
Blue lights of the ambulance
Cast watery glow on chop shops and brothels
Trash bags of cell phones, car keys, jewelry
Sifted through, pawned treasure
Shards of bone and bits of grit
Float in Lake Zurich
Scant remains of dignitas
