FAILED ATTEMPT

FAILED ATTEMPT

I thought I had plowed through
the forbidden
shattered sheets of invisible glass
reached into darkness to
the calm warmth of oblivion

In death there is darkness
comfort
freedom

Then day arrived
greeted by people (do I  know them?)
they prey
they thank god today.  tomorrow
declare themselves non bwelievers

they hover over my naked body
loosely covered by a thin white sheet
put there to prevent my exposure.

They don't understand
I am finished with my body

I push the sheet away
I scream "no no!"
through my closed mouth

Everything is blurry
except the white tape on my left arm
the clear glass bottle
that hangs by my bed

Soon that too will go away
and darkness will find me
