i don't write like sylvia plath but perhaps

one day i'll die like her

then my works will always be remembered by my end and not my beginning

if such a poet as her cannot escape this fate, surely i cannot


no one will even bother with my poems until i am well and truly

six feet under because then

it will fascinate them

it will become a fun little game


what pushed them over the edge

what were the clues, the warning signs

perhaps it could've been avoided, they will conclude

then shrug and move on with their day


puzzle already put together

poet already dead and

no one likes an already-solved mystery
