The Table
The Table
I look at the table
While on a chair, I sit
Feeling so unstable
And melancholy with thoughts of things I could commit
On the table
Seen is a metal object, with six little rounds
Want to neglect with a click
And a deafening sound
Through the shells fall to the ground.
On the table
A necklace to lift me above the land
A polymer rope, a copper wire, a cable
Let’s lose at the game of hangman!
On the table
A container full of candies
To make me sweat and give a sugar crush
But surely they come in handy
To stop life and its chaotic rush
On the table
A pack of sharp metallic crayons
My body starts to feel like a page
Let the reds be filled in
This masterpiece can never be erased
So many ways to leave
An exit, an escape they enabled
Not easy but at last they do relieve
I wonder as I look at the table
My soul flying away
Mind and heart disabled
I committed into this love and I lay
Not on or at, but by the table
(Lips tight, eyes closed, last breath)
(Away and away, lie dead by the table)
