Life and Her Sister Death

I told life that I cheated with her sister death,
and how she has promised to set me down in
her bosoms
her graveyard of old lovers.

To deplore the festive season

Since the farmer didn’t bluff

When he promised them good stuff

Perfect

I suppose I had promised to be forever cured. 

I suppose I am only a little bit cured. 

I suppose that’s not the perfect promise.

Mom always had a saying.

Are they all avoiding me?
