falling in love with the swamprat rimbaud
Frank Stanford the latest suicided writer I have fallen for
29 three (!) shots to the heart add to the list Virginia Woolf
59 rocks in pockets walked into the Ouse
Sylvia Plath gassed herself at 30 young children in bedrooms
warm milk at their doors her son Nicholas died by suicide 47
death by hanging yes children of suicides suicide too often
my own brush with deathbed deshabille at 10 was messy with
moist coverlet i saved the young mum who walked into the water
with her dress full of jewels like in the Romanov execution
bang💥
bang💥
oh sweet Jesus the levees that break in my heart
(Frank Stanford The Snake Doctors 1971)
Then there is forced suicide i bet you’ve never heard of that Socrates
+Seneca too it’s a method of execution not unlike suicide by one’s own
hand except the victim is yet unwilling unready
but a fate worse than death awaits: torture humiliation family+friends
tortured too or killed though you know sometimes life itself presents you
with this kind of choice no?
we will blind + maim your husband your mother father brother et al.
you can jump in the river and drown or you can stay change dressings
+ howl at the moon
