Surfeit

SURFEIT

 A surfeit of everything
              of love
                     of wine
                             of music
                                      and of chocolates
              of fame
                      of food
                              of energy
                                      and of cigarettes
              of ambition
                        of doughnuts
                                      of power
                                              and of soup
              finally sapped his strength

              A surfeit
                       of death
