Title: Death Of A Manic
Author: Debbie
Date Submitted: 5/25/2012

 
Poem: The sky went black
At the news of my death
There’s no way, I wasn’t ready
To die

The pulling of the shade
the flag at half mast
disturbed at my personal loss
I cry

Skating on the ice pond
It was bound to happen
That I should disappear
Under the watery grave

The ice is cracked
And I am cracked in two
A chunk of clear ice
Unsculptured, blank

My fingers reach for the surface
And then my eyes ascend to light
I don’t know who I am
But the sky is a mass of white
...
