Solace and Silence

What if the pills
Seem to intoxicate
The knife?

What if I say yes
Restless
For your offer?

The coils on the burner
Enter this body
Like a snake

My words twist
A burnt tattoo
Inside

I am praised
For my pain
Talent

I offer peace
In solace and
Silence

A misunderstanding
That mine means
Anything more…

Than a candlelight vigil
A Friendship
Of semi colons

We fight with
Phenomenology
Against reality

I can’t die for a
Whisper or
Tap out

My suicide, is written
On the publishers
Bank note

Your solace is
Silence, chiseled
And grave.
