A Suicide Footnote
He was never
meant
to weather
summer’s fire
her own
heart’s desire,
the perfect
child, who
upon his inadvertent
passing
left her
feeling
only wholly
alone
And she
wouldn’t,
couldn’t endure
that pain,
so devised an anguished
plan
guaranteed to succeed
But, before she departed
she gave me a gift
(a bittersweet knelling):
you and I, laughing –
an old memory of hers,
made mine
with the telling
