The Detour

For decades, his disease 
Has let him linger. Last  
Summer, supposedly his last 
Found him painfully aware 
Of what we all can count on 
His body taxed, he bypassed death 
Then he entered through 
Another door, one they said 
His dear wife  
Would exit on her own 
Their diagnosis was wrong 
Upon release, he parked  
His dark gray Cadillac 
By the suspension bridge 
At Angel Falls  
And filled his lungs  
With floribunda rose
