Thomson, Plath and Poe?
If souls indeed there are to go-
Mortal coils, shed by choice
Words inadequate to voice.
The poems and prose- not enough
To quell the pain of life’s cruel stuff.
Did they see what I see now?
Did futile musings rank first among thoughts last
By shotgun, booze, an oven’s gas?
Did relief at last push aside despair
At going somewhere- just not here.

Where went the souls of
Thomson, Plath and Poe?
If souls indeed there are to go-
Mortal coils, shed by choice
Words inadequate to voice.
The poems and prose- not enough
To quell the pain of life’s cruel stuff.
Did they see what I see now?
Did futile musings rank first among thoughts last
By shotgun, booze, an oven’s gas?
Did relief at last push aside despair
At going somewhere- just not here.
