Honor
let me tell you one thing about suicide
if a loved one has the guts or the heartbreak
to pull this off, you better have the same to
say this is how it all ended
even if you argue with her or him in your mind
every day as you bake bread
rake leaves
drive to work
return library books
tie your shoes
walk a cross walk
mail a letter
split wood
and try to sing in the shower again
