Quit asking me questions with blinks.
Understand I won't talk when you can't.
It's almost time, the nurse's voice is urgent.
Even now I won't speak, while your heart is stopping.
Three blinks are your goodbye, and four blinks are mine.

The author's comments:
For anyone that might be confused, I'll give you a hint: Those three little words are the three little blinks. The four blinks are the natural reply.
