There is a single image in the poem - 'wisteria falls to the ground / heavy in rain / and voices sounding from the television' - and it is here that the poem has some interest for the reader. I suppose you are describing a day in the life of somebody suffering from Graves disease, but there's too little detail given for the reader to be hooked.
 
'tremors and anxiety consume colours' is an overly stretched metaphor. For a metaphor to work, it should ideally make literal as well as metaphorical sense.

Achebe,

Just to shed some light, the title derives from L10 ; "leaving death to wait"  it's simply a way to tell death not to call for it's a life sentence. I can't say that I don't agree with you concerning L3. I too think it's stretched but I can't say it's not the way I wanted it either. And the work could be beefed up. Nevertheless, thank you for taking the time to read and leave your feedback.
