she will not believe
that I am
dead.

she comes
to me
like Mary Magdalene
to an Easter morning tomb,
and finding less
than a body,
imagines more.

so we still live
together:
she sleeps
with me
like blood sleeps in a wound;
I keep her
warm
like a body warms a cross.

Beautifully said Tony.
I cannot believe nobody commented on this.

Damn, this is powerful....brilliant!

I, too, am surprised that no one else has commented on this.....I find that things move way too fast in the forums, and the intelligent, thought-provoking poems often get passed by.

Nonetheless, I love this...damn, you have talent.

Well, I'm in agreement here with the previous replies. A fine write, so much is said within these few lines.

after discussing this poem with you I still
want another verse. Resurrection comes to mind whether one might believe or not.
creatively done!
