Leaving
(live a fabulous life)
Earth and Fire
By Jane Seabourne
When its time to go,
make like the leaves.
Go out in style, all guns blazing.
Turn pomegranate, garnet, lollo rosso.
Think bronzer, highlights, San Tropez:
Catwalk colours, this season’s must haves.
Draw crowds.
Judge the moment for your launch
Float, flutter, pirouette,
Make a nuisance onlywhen you hit the ground.
Gang up, hide roots bury drain covers.
Mix with low-life.
Mulch yourself.
Break bones.
Rick ankles.
Cause embarrassmentat the very least.
Whatever you do,make sure, when you leave,they remember you.
