Suicide Pact

Rene Diedrich

Were I wise and finished
I’d go too, I’d sit in
The bathroom like Elvis on the crapper
As the carbon memory
Filled the air I’d
Sit with my highball
Ice clinking Bourbon
Burn as the pipe
Lit my lungs with
Urban ‘urge’
I’d be near your corpse
Smiling yet blue
Naked as usual
And I’d wait to join
You in the hereafter
None too sure how sweet
It could be
I’d consider my
Son with no legacy
And every man who’s
Loved me
I’d consider
My future and the
Tales I had to tell yet

I’d get up
Go back to face
The mess I made
As I prayed and cried
For you in the office
Where you’ve left your
Life in order
