Suicide's Note

The calm,
Cool face of the river
Asked me for a kiss.

Bad Morning

Here I sit
With my shoes mismated.
Lawdy-mercy!
I's frustrated!

Deceased

Harlem
Sent him home
in a long box-
Too dead
To know why:

The licker
Was lye.

Wake

Tell all my mourners
To mourn in red --
Cause there ain't no sense
In my bein' dead.
