Of wrist and stripe by razor swipe
or tracks for miles as death beguiles
Of neck and burn by slipknot yearn
or choking pill to hasten kill
Of pan and grey by leaden spray
or running leap to six foot deep
Of funeral pyre by fuel and fire
or hemlock glaze by goblet raise
Of truth and will by madness fill
and wilted rose from question pose
Of blessed peace in sorrow’s cease
and fateful end by destined rend
