Suicide Note

One day you will arrive.
Night will enter in your pores,
in your bones,
like a baby trapped in a borewell,
crying, striking,
thumping.

On each table, salt moaned
for a classical taste.
A pink moon was smothered
in a virgin bed.
Death walked in a sensual style.

A black discharge continued
from the areolae.
Botox failed to uplift
the sagging breasts.
A thallium capsule broke on tongue.

There was no suicide note.

Congratulations on your poem being featured. This is a very striking peace and the words are very descriptive. The theme is consistent with the title, and it flows throughout the poem quite well, especially with the twist in the end. Great job! ~Joseph
