Death Wish

~In a downward state of mind

Why is it?

My house,

up there,

I, so carefully put together,

brick by brick

out of mist, sea air,

out of nothing

really;

glued by my desire

to live,

is ruined.

Now,

all come

crashing down,

shattered;

brick by brick,

boulder by boulder,

stone by stone.

Down through

stratosphere;

the speed

with which

hot

burning,

ashes and debris

blind my eyes,

unbearable pain

in my broken bones,

my flesh burnt;

earth is shaking

under my feet,

I'm losing balance.

I am closing my eyes,

plugging my ears,

not to hear

the dreadful thunder.

I wish,

I hope,

one of these nights,

while sleeping,

I will stop dreaming,

I will cease

to breathe.
