Bioethics Poetry, Emily Dickinson Edition

Death is a Dialogue between


Death is a Dialogue between
The Spirit and the Dust.
"Dissolve" says Death -- The Spirit "Sir
I have another Trust" --

Death doubts it -- Argues from the Ground --
The Spirit turns away
Just laying off for evidence
An Overcoat of Clay.


Emily Dickinson

(Mary M. Scott Morton, RIP)
