It's a sweet, sharp sting,
your mouth on mine.
We're melting like fat
in a pyre.
It won't be long now.
It can't be long.
Before we go
I must relay

your hair is full of leaves,
burning up like stars.
The heat is a black hall
pounding down around us.
Will we walk together
through its inner sanctums,
hand in hand forever,
or will this be the final play?

If so, please look into my eyes
and see the way that I see you --
as you see me.
Together, darling, as we fall
below the throng of gathered sight.

Their words are whispers. Listen to them
break across the forest clearing.
From "Witch! Witch! Witch!"
to "Ich liebe dich."
A small mercy,
ours to be sure.
May they witness our final sparks.

See what I'll be up to on Saturday: www.bubastis.com/funeral

Their words are whispers. Listen to them

It's a sweet, sharp sting,
your mouth on mine.

so so bittersweet . . .
You have done it again . . .

The way you move me
I walk with your shadow
With your silhouette
Leave the light on
It always comes
Back to you
