I write the beginnings of poems
And never finish them,
I've written my own death
So many times
That occasionally I forget the answer
When they ask me
How many.
Now
I've stopped counting.
The blade falls uselessly to the floor.
And pills are for headaches again.
I count the number of times a day
I kiss my love or
Laugh at my dog
Or my little sister makes me smile.
Because those are the times when
I feel alive.
And I don't want to count my own death
Anymore.
