To Let Go
February 3, 1992

I have this friend you don’t know
problems serious, problems low
central to the many
taken by many from one extreme to another
too many pills, successful suicide, failed –
life is too much, he says
a burden to him
it would be much simpler to step down
out of the light on some imagined stage
where after the act actors gather, shake hands
call it a night
into whatever hereafter is
claims realization of the foolish choice
burned out on support groups, empty warm and needing hands
by which mine too, I might as well include
so he thinks of going away for a while
as though he might screw the pooch
get the angle wrong, eat the sugar pills
talks of an impression on those left behind
but the impression’s already made
I don’t trust you
I don’t believe your help is real
he wants sorrow at his passing
and mine he can have when he goes
and my curse, my anger, my pain
my hope that if he’s that weak his ghost will further suffer
having insulted his family, drawn wrath from the balustrade
slid down right quick, no chance before the nip
letting everyone know – and am I the splinter to stop him?
