the good death

i can take it
start with my feet
give me your weight

when you are done
rains like brushes
ritching my temples

i will expire
in a flushy flurry

carry on.

  1. This would make a nice last speech for a snowman. (Except for the feet part - unless you make the snowman with feet, of course)

  4. Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. Actually, I'm doubly thankful because it led me here - to your fabulous words. Great poem, but you should know that as a mom who said "use your words" so often that my bird learned the phrase, you actually had me at your profile summary.

    Looking forward to reading more. I've added a bookmark so I can come poke around when I'm not supposed to be working.
