Far Away
I bought the DVDs eight weeks ago
But haven't started Buffy's season five,
And not because she won't get out alive—
Just like her first death, it won't last, I know.
Of course, it's just a television show,
Where every week her Scoobies must contrive
Some plan to stop some villain's wicked jive.
There's something there that shakes me, even so.
That sudden sister should have been a joke—
Still, how could Buffy choose to let her die,
Their mother dead? And Glory! When she broke
Sweet Tara's mind she is a god, I thought,
Yet Buffy, dying, won—my wife and I
Together watched her save the world. A lot.
