When my Mom dies

She will die.
eventually, I will get that call.

I'll smoke death
and drink death
and snort death
off powder fueled
bitches lounging
beside me
assuring me
that everything
happens for a
reason.

I will fuck them
and roll off.

I will not wipe them clean
with soiled sock or
promissory note.

No.

I will smoke death and sweat death,
watching chromatic slide shows
of my withering fortitude,
listening, enduring
the chirping of morning birds.

Together we will kill
all that is left.
