This is How I am Going to Die

The poem which I really liked from the first group of poems is Cesar Vallejo's Black Stone on Top of a White Stone. In this poem the author imagines his death, and gives us some details about the place, the time, and the situation in which he will die:

 "I shall die in Paris, in a rainstorm,
On a day I already remember.
I shall die in Paris-- it does not bother me--
Doubtless on a Thursday, like today, in autumn."

Later on, in the second stanza, the author gives us hints that he actually wishes to die:
 
"As I put down these lines, I have set my shoulders
To the evil."


In the last part of the poem he also tells the readers about the way in which he will die:





"They hit him hard with a stick and hard also
With the end of a rope."

Ultimately, I think that the author himself was in a depressive mood and depression in many times can lead to thoughts about death or suicide.
