Poison


Bring the gleaming cup to your lips
Take a fatal sip
In your heart death already reigns
Now let it touch your veins

Clarify your position
Drink the poison
When life is bitter, its loss is sweet
Come take a load off your feet

Cats love milk, rats like cheese
Do as you please
You hold the power to make or break
To sleep and never wake

Of course there are other ways
Messy but okay
But why open a wrist
To replace a woman's kiss?

Do it now, pour the wine
While there's still time
Why hesitate, why stall?
Unless you've never courted death at all

  1. Another old poem paired with a new picture. Just in case anyone's interested, that's hemlock.
