La Petite Mort

by Maria Terezia Ferencz

Let's die a little bit
every single day
practice a little death
finding our way
escaping the shells
that hold us inside
break free on screams
come to me hide
veiled ectasy
you in me
slide
our soul's slip
we journey inside
reaching a shore
the world will never find

Author's Note: This is where I long to live...and die

Adds a whole new meaning to "death by a thousand cuts." But isn't that the way we all go? And yet each cut strengthening us too as we go.
