Girl in Black

OH Syllvia!
Where are you?
And why dd you decide
to end it all?

In a stove
of all things
why not
pills?

Everyone famous
did it with pills
or drowning
rocks in their pockets

Mrs. Dalloway
went that way
so why not you
with closed eyes

Why not one
drunken
car crash
like Mr. Pollack?

You should have raised cats
with three legs
and lived on an island
in Florida

What of "Renascence"
who chose to live
hard and without edit
until it all ended on the stairs?

It just seems so foolish
that you should have a following
when you decided not
to believe anymore

Or had you seen
too much
the darkness
and regret of life?
