v) My wife suggests to me:
a hysterectomy—
unexpected, but not unwelcome;
rip from me the capability to create new human beings.
Alive, alone:
unwind the telephone wire and dangle down by the window.
Trace your fingers on the glass and let the water drip along the pane.
To die in song;
if there is nothing quite so torturously beautiful then let me
hang my head in shame. Let me give you my full name, let me
rise up from the grave and never rest again.
(Let me hang my head in shame. Let me give you my full name. Let me
rise up from the grave and never rest again.)
