A Subtle Way To Die

Do not go to church
They’d ask you to pray about it.
Stay away from lovers
They’d love but’ll miss you a while only
Tell your mother how good she’s been
Buy her a gift
Tell her you’re celebrating a loss and a win
Find the savings you have and those you don’t.
Put them together for your next of kin.
Tell your father he’s been your miracle
Come back into your room happy
Embrace what’s left of the night
By morning, when they wake
You’ll be hanging from the ceiling
Free
