Weightless Belief

by Ava Blu


"Admit, that a wise man can instruct fools."--Voltaire

Author's Note:

There have been studies 
to show that everyone loses 
the same amount of weight when they die.  
It has been said that this could be the soul.

an interesting piece, especially when put into context with your note. the first stanza is awesome, and the rest of the poem followed suite. excellent work.

wow, amazing last line, which i didn't get the first time i read it. you think your soul is corrupt? well, you don't have to answer. i know you well enough to know what you think and how you feel. probably your best poem ever. sincerely, shawnelle

...then I think I'll probably put on weight when I go :)
Wonderfully dry and detached. Subjective, but I found myself convinced by your commentary - and I drooled especially over 'your exorbitant imagination'
a hot favourite
