the act of suicide carries its own mythology
*
you looked so alive
sounded so alive
I didn’t perceive death as
omnipresent
*
suicide turned you into someone I had never seen
*
how easy it was
for a soul
to leave its body
*
strangers spent
my brother’s last moments
with him
from afar
from beneath
*
nobody saw him
until he jumped
