THE RUSH TO DEATH
bereaves the living
even more
we say or think
forgetting
what played out in those
who took their lives
in hand
the fatal lapse
they seek
the freedom death
affords them
when the world
still senseless
leaves them empty
inward desolation
horror of
great darkness
great things
on the ocean
break
& counterfeit
infinity
