I examine
my skin

searching for
the pore

with EXIT
over it

John, you're too late with your comment directed at Bill. He died in 2014, or so says PH. You say the message is suicide. I interpreted it differently. I thought maybe he was suffering from some kind of terminal illness such as cancer, and knew he was dying, but hoping to find a way out.

Thanks Kim... I see that now. But Escape Plan indicates a willing exit to me, not one waited for.... But I like your vision as well.

Get real Ramesh. Where is the beauty in twelve words expressing nothing?

I think he was looking for a way to free his soul from a suffering body.But his poem has wry and sensitive humor to it..I'm sorry he's gone since he is my poet discovery for today..rest in peace and thank you for your poetry..

I wholeheartedly agree with your perceptive comments about this intriguing poem Lorraine. I think it has to be considered in its context of suffering.
