rose petals
drop to hospital floor
detached
old man's life ticks away
his soul reaches for heaven

Author Notes
I have chosen to use a more traditional Japanese approach to this tanka, and have gone short/long/short/long/long. I have used 25 syllables, which is appropriate as long as I follow the short/long/short/long/long rule. I thank all of those that take the time to read this.
