i am torn asunder
a carcass
of beast and bone
picked over
by the buzzards
i, home to the crows
raven messenger
carry my love this poem
greet him
with these words
two silver coins
I will pay
to Charon
and lay this stone
just the other side of Styx
his burden to bear no more
invoke my name
with the dichotomy
of a blessing
and a curse
praying your voice
echoes through the aether
awakening me from my oblivion
cuddle with me
I want to feel the weight of you
press me into the sheets
like a rose pressed between
the pages of a book
write love notes on my skin
with your fingertips
your lips
breathe me in
and let me fade
into your oblivion
