I Keep Myself Going

I keep myself going
through a combination
of clever handiwork

a series of good recipes

carefully timed distractions

mailed to arrive midweek

it's the thing about dying in parts
you see it coming

and tie down what will be whipped by the wind
lock doors to rooms
lose keys

turn down beds
turn off lights

to let darkness settle in
