Ron Cervero Poet Free verse

My Cellar Window

My life had become unbearable
Too many chances
Not enough time
I contemplated suicide but didn’t
know how to pull it off

I practiced by jumping out of the cellar window...
As I struggled to raise myself from the floor
to the window

I contemplated my mortality

I then slithered through the cellar window
where I lay in a flower bed planted by my wife
 
Looking up at the grey and ominous sky
I saw a spark
That spark was my life
No need to hurry the process
It will be over before you know it
