Thesaurus

You may flip through the thesaurus,

Searching the pages for evidence,

Of synonyms for my sins,

Feelings that came

  before principles,

Moot points.

  Cases to be

     cared for,

      found no

more.

I deaded him, abandoned the boy,

Murdered at night, and let the man be born,

Snow fell to wake anew in the morning,

Mourning over desire no more.

Death arrived on

a winter day,

With heavy

snows carpeting,

Dancing around,

Foxtrot found:

A distinguished existence,

That was meant,

To extinguish – or to be? No,

to be no more.
