Towards an Epitaph

by Sherri Turner


I will not yield.
I will stand firm and let myself be counted.
I will not have my weaknesses revealed,
and this small thing to which I have amounted
will be preserved, be safe behind my shield,
so when my final story is recounted
the least that can be said will be ‘She did not yield’.
