One Tomorrow

One tomorrow I will die
and I won't have that tomorrow
and that tomorrow will occur
without my presence
without my participation

and I won't write any poems that tomorrow

and I won't tell my son and daughter I love them
that tomorrow

and I won't make a cup of coffee for my wife
or get Mia's medications ready
or feed the bunnies
or check my to do list

that tomorrow

because that tomorrow
will not be my tomorrow
but only the tomorrow
for the living

and that won't include me.
