CROSSING THE RUBICON

On a lonely morn he crossed the Rubicon . . . . 


Smokey fog filtered from the lake bottom,
Eerily his forthcoming demise foretold by it
From his deathbed, slow shallow breaths
Became casually distant then nonexistent . . . .


From across the river he whispered to me.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I had a prmenition he had died when the phone rang . . .
