An Intimidation

If you shall ever leave me
I shall not die
Nor make my grief a trumpet to shatter the sky
I shall not ask for anything more
But to walk according to natural law
One foot behind me
The other before,
I shall rise at morning
Sleep at night,
Grope in darkness
See in light,
Tell unfailingly
Black from white,
I shall use my brain
To earn my bread,
Snarl when I’m hungry
Smile well -fed.
NO-I shall not die,
I shall be DEAD.
