Le Petit Mort

by Karl Waldbauer

Don’t
you want to touch me
Don’t
you want to feel me
Won’t
you let me slide deep down inside?

Can’t you see the reason why I want to love you?
Come near, my handsome stranger,
you can die a bit with me.

die with me awhile -- yea, that's just awesome. i love to think, and write about the thousand little deaths we are continually experiencing. It's that whirpool in the gut feeling, like drowning into an open wound. And, yet, if we never take risk, we feel nothing, so are these little deaths then such a bad thing?

Karl, in many ways when we get involved with another person, we tend to take people "hostage," well, some people do. So in a way your little death is an accurate picture, because in being with someone, there are always compromises where we feel like parts of us die.
