   I’m grateful for the courtesy
   of quiet, distant reticence
   that carries careful mercy
   for my Asian essence.
   I don’t have family gathered ’round
   and friends all dropping by.
   For me, this would be unsound,
   a maudlin lullaby.
   I hew to a fighting creed
   of steel and blood and stone,
   and implicit is the need
   to face my death alone.
   Those who care, tho’ they may cry,
   will give the space for me to die.

     Lord, wrap Andrew in sacred space.
     Amen.

       “Done!”, He says.

       I’m OK.
