Sabire's Cry

Death Poem

You've let me cry, and cry and cry!

Now let me simply die, let me die!

No coma please, no more appeals

just help me die, with suicide...!

My plight in life is over, long gone!

The French president, please try
to understand, but all he says

is: get a new examination, options!

His help is nil, and rudely artificial.

Just let me die, let me die in Dijon-
so I can have the last words

to this eating cancer of: bone, flesh

and nerve-the last words to this

unending, vicious, vicious curse.

Hasten my death before I have
to take it upon myself...

Tell the Associated Press of my
deformations, and let me rest

let me rest, let me rest, the pain is

too, way too much, way too much!

Let me die, you've left me cry, and
cry and cry...!
