Because we choose

How do we choose to die?
I mean,
for some the choice is made,
but others choose.

Contrary to some
you are not a dying machine.
Every corpuscle of your being
strives to live
And knows no other way
yet you die
and some choose.

And if a body is dying
you have no choice
But no corpus of the body
not one cell
attends to this
cessation of living.

And those that choose
I understand
I’ve seen the choice made
the corpora maybe not,
maybe can’t begin
to die and then,
the choice is made
and they do.

The choice
of corpse
to corporeal
is not of the body
but the last
spiritual act

That shows that we
are meant maybe
for somewhere else
because we choose.
