The weather that day was perfect for drowning......
November left the world dead but the sky was clear
Haunted by a previos lively bliss
as the cold left the world to shiver
it lingered and whispered with a serpents hiss
Today is a perfect day for drowning......
the corners of my lips contorted to a smile
As I watched the man lurch forward on the ice
the serpent's loving aisle
A sewing needle in hand
And black ink at his feet
he removed all proof that it was November
handing to me a duster jacket
and it was a perfect day for drowning.....
I watched carefully already dressed for the occasion
A funeral in the making
Draped in mourning black
A crack
A slip
And his sincere smile
the water caressed his lungs into a panic
And soon enough he breathed in paradise.....
I turned to walk away
And would not think of him again
until April's bliss would come
And the papers would dedicate a space
for a man with nothing but a scorpion tatoo
little did the paper
It was a perfect day for drowning.......

this is amazing. i was in love from the first line -
"The weather that day was perfect for drowning......"
the imagery is great, and it's definitely dark - most of the best poetry is dark, in my opinion. Dark poetry is real...
love it..truly, i do.

| I can't believe I found this in the least read poems section. You have some serious talent. |
