The Death of an Intense Writer

He was such an intense writer

That he wanted to die

From an infected paper cut

If only to prove

He died for his art

His body was as thin and white as a page

That smelled of ink

I think he bled it, thick and red

You could see his words as he spoke

In bold Courier New

Everything from his mouth or hand

Was as vivid as a poem

Even shopping lists and directions

And when he finally died

His brain was clogged

With the thick residue of stories

And a council of his characters

Carried him to the afterlife

Where he danced amongst

An endless supply of blank leaves

And never ending fountains of black and blue
