A Shakespearean Suicide
Ophelia was lucky,
I bet the lake was idyllically pretty,
peaceful, secluded,
I bet she was surrounded by flowers,
weaving themselves into her wet, tangled hair,
I bet she was dreaming as she drowned,
there would have been no one
forcing down a door
no sirens and blue flashing lights
racing her back to life
Ophelia was lucky,
fifty aspirin doesnβt have quite
the same ring to it
as a Shakespearean suicide
