The edge of the ice.
The sun.
The warmth.
My Dad
and wife,
my men to carry me.

To live to the words
would be extraordinary.

Send the others away;
comes now the challenge
of the Alpha.

Drawn,
breathing.
Knowing fate,
choosing to fight,
and bleed.

Knife and glass.

On this day,
in the snow,
dies a man
of life.
