Inhalation
As I take in a deep breath
I think of Carol dying,
her body about to inhale
its last flooding gasp.
I like to pretend this ending
a world alien from my own.

So painful to read. What a poem.
Once again your ending nails it!
It hurts to read, but some hurts are necessary.
It does hurt to read, and your couplets are a good choice.
