Undocumented Notes On the Aftermath of a Suicide

Backward word exceptions for me 
from mothers cold lipless tongue drips lies, 
White and stagnation 
void of a life.-
Is nothing sacred mother? 
My mother? 
Is nothing pure? 
Even babies defecate and are never clean anymore. 
I fail--as she fell. 
But two eyes are better than three 
and doesn’t allow such and such’s brain to bleed. 
She had her head on the floor but she had her eye on me. 
Lips soft as a kiss and open for guests but no feelings 
there was no life there 
nothing intermission to flatten the flowers and lost.   

Further expeditions into my fragile fragmented psyche 
leads one to a temporary understanding of life 
through the perspective of one afraid of conformity 
yet change 
yet being identified as a same 
the same-ness is a blow to the ego center 
bordering on ego death 
but only by a completely Egotistico way 
you and you and you and me I you and we 
our seasons the moment we are zero: a free radical
