im umzug & krawatte
strauss am herzen,
augen zu.
schuhe geputzt
flugkarte in tasche
grinsen.
suit and tie on
bouquet across the chest,
eyes shut.
shoes shined
plane ticket in his pocket
beaming.
*note: this poem was inspired by a student suicide on my university campus two years ago. the idea of dying with so much before oneself would not get out of my mind.
