freeing the art from his hands

the famous
confessional poet,
the daddy of the genre
died
in a taxi
of heart failure,
clutching a portrait
of his last
wife
in his frozen grip.
at last free
from pills
and psychiatrists,
asylums.
was she
the love of his life?
who knows, but
they had to break his
arms
to free the art
from his hands.
