Drowning Angel by OJ Hansen
She almost drowned once
fell in love, for a while
grew strong but never cold
kind but never weak
she kept commitment at a distance
chose good sex over security
thought she would defy the odds
and stay young forever
Searching death records for her ancestors
she ignored the ones who died early
from sickness or suicide
focused instead on those
who lived to be 80 or 90 or 100
counting on good genes
to outweigh all else
counting on good genes
to outweigh all else
