You and Death
by Lasse
Rindom
You have said you wish to die
when we are something greater
that you have accomplished,
and you are right.
I also want to die
the death that is your face
the moment before you awaken
and all the world's graves begin to bloom.
When death is no longer heavy,
you are the greatest
centre of gravity
and I burn in the fall
towards your cheek's microscopic
craters.
All of life
I can't say anything about
until you awaken
and bury a kiss
deep down in the atmosphere
like a spiral of magma
in my mouth.
When death no longer has meaning
you do.
