Sundays

Poetry, 2018

to raise suicide awareness.

candles

submerged

in

a

liquid—

gasoline

 

pale

pink

roses

ripe

with

thorns

rest

in

a

porcelain

vase

 

matches

slowly

come

to

life

 

wisps

of

flame

start

to

dance

 

rope

carefully

tightened,

a

loop

a

noose,

to

be

more

precise

​

she

did

not

want

tinted

red

sheets

 

her

plan

seems

be

working?

 

roses

scorch

candles

glow

gasoline

burns,

 

 

her

 

head

 

hangs

 

low

​

-sundays are my suicide days
