my mate among the souls

i lay on my back until i crossed over.

 cradled in small petals, warm water frames my face.  i sink deeper.  i sunk deeper and joined the other bodies.  they raised their arms in the air.

off to find my mate among the souls.


i weep into his fur and thank him for the white.  i say i just wanted the will!

he left her with 5 times a month.  she smoked cigarettes in bars alone.


-
falling asleep as losing one sense at a time.

You walked on pins and muddy needles with her, but still you walked away. You watched me from the dark where you sat by your lonesome. I hoped for no regrets. I hoped you thought I was beautiful. (we let the dogs destroy the old couch)
