A Suicide Poem by Ponniah Ganeshan

A Suicide



There was a moth
Hovering around the lamp
At night Flying
I warned her not to be killed by herself
I said, asking
‘ Why do you welcome the death on your own'
But said, she replying
‘Let the lamp itself realize
That I myself had a heart
Before my death'
