Dr. Jack Kevorkian Dies at 83; A Doctor Who Helped End Lives

Efficiency apartment

Salvation Army clothing

My love, death,

Intolerant of luxury

In modest homes

Or rustic campgrounds

Saline drips

Potassium chloride floods

Heart ceases

Then silence

Photograph their eyes

Capture the vacancy

Flat like fish

My own final moments

Kidneys failing

Imprisoned in hospital bed

Praying for mercy
