Shrine Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

Shrine



Spurned, dejected, rejected,
into a knot I close.

A rope I become
primed for hanging.

I choose my tree
with a sturdy branch,

high enough,

from whence I'll swing,

my feet

brushing the ground.

Then I'll

twist,
twirl,
sway,

the noose around my neck
keeping my breath away.

Crucified,
my soul shall flit away

and in the shrine

only a memento

of me

shall dwell.
