words before death by Wendy Gealsapphire scars you give me
wept with kisses and clenched teeth
the strumming of blood is rushing round
your veins like lava
pumping- swirling,
and sweet emerge
shut your eyes, love
and i will dissever
as you hold your breath and
blow me sweetly away 05/31/2004 Author's Note: Revised from an earlier poem.
...last words to a dying love...
