merciful vapors

she who has loved him longest and best
arriving home squeezing
the gizmo bearing the proud inscription sears
but the
castle gate ignores it
their every towel every tablecloth every sheet
pressed into service
for purposes neither of dining nor bathing nor slumber
instruments of a blight expunged
a wrongness not righted perhaps
but at least extinguished
their every towel every tablecloth every sheet crammed
between the garage doors southernmost edge
cape of lost hope
and the cold hard ground
the better to prevent the escape of the merciful vapors that
in ending his life
end his pain
she howls in horror and rage
how
could
he
how could he not
loving her as he does
wishing the best for
wishing far better for her than him
