The Death Of Me Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

The Death Of Me

The death of me will be above my waist
Beginning at the orifice I call my mouth

The chemicals that will stop my breath entering there
Mixed with tainted and polluted air

They will migrate south of north
briefly settling in my indefatigable stomach

Bypass all protocols and go straight to the medulla oblongata

Send emissaries of misery in a poisoned chalice to the liver to deliver a death message

Cirrhosis with osmosis being the medium by which i shall feel it in my swollen feet

The heart swollen with pride
with cholesterol you cannot debride

Arteries like jammed artillery
More of the happy hours giving illusions of powers

Until comes the silence
The death of me
