My initial reaction to finchy’s work was not positive. I thought that she is a prose writer and maybe poetry is not her thing. But I have read her almost every poem on this board. I think this is one of her better work.

fuck ing hell / or / room 315
a three fifteen
not really / a four twenty
that's the number / ah / get it?
the number on his door / death's door
silly death / ready to walk thru @ any moment
& i'm sorry your head hurts in side / sorry
you have to die / i under stand tho
you are tired / of this / body / that refuses
to mend / /
death is a bitch
& tho i walk thru the valley of
the end of your life / i think i'll be okay
yeah / i think i'll be okay
& i wish / i could have found a poem
the courage to find a poem / some thing to
read to you
& young artists become the old / cutting edge
now cut / / & be yond / /
& the finest of the fine / gather @ the foot of your bed
artists who've honed their craft / have found
some how / a comfort in / be ing / be gin a gain
the imminence of your death / now final
days / day day day / / / / / & then what ???
i'll crawl in side / my dark space / mourn
tears will spill / go on / be yond
the grief
i'm a fraid / to miss you
yup / this ain't no 4:20
face like a cherub
round / twinkle / & some thing stirs
a trickle / a flood / perhaps
/
