I Licked a Lollipop When I Died


I licked a lollipop when I died- The stillness in my form Was like the stillness in the stick- Between the stickiness of my hands- The taste should have been sweet- but soured my tongue And my eyes began to water For the last onset, my mouth went dry I witnessed my life passing by. I willed my keepsakes, sent away What a shame to give away Assignable- and it showed There interposed a lollipop With swirls-and certain sour taste Between the flavors was my lying fate And then everything turned dark-and then I could taste no more.
