ON THE SUICIDE OF J.Z.L.

Here is a poem by a dear friend and amazing writer I know. Marc di Saverio is an acclaimed Haiku writer, and I for one am on the edge of my seat in anticipation of "Sanatorium Songs" his forthcoming chap book to be released through Cactus Press. This particular poem is one of my favorites and will be included in "Sanatorim Songs". Please give it a read, I mean I like it I hate most poetry. Thanks, and good work Marc!

ON THE SUICIDE OF J.Z.L.

"'Daddy, you bastard'" he'd crack
with his father...Music once charmed
his slithering veins; He'd bar all thieves
from his diamonding brains contstellating

over a world that would have chauffeured
Him to Olympia. He takes one last look
at his face in his shadow on the ground.
Dawn once did scatter cheer: "two hours

till snowforts!". Jeer-rays echoed from an empty
fish-bowl. ''In heaven I'll have legs of chariots
Drawn by 10 unicorns. I'll be infinitely manic,

So don't worry, Loves; as you know, I've been SO sick...
wtf...his chair?...And what if mother discovers me?!"
A chair toppled, promptly.
