Six feet,
Apart.
separated-
two halves no longer whole,
unearthly to be apart...by a mere and infinite

and bury my fingers in soil.
Twisting and flinging-
Grabbing and soothing,
I cannot reach you.
Tears that cannot be traded for tokens,
that slide down purple shadows and
streched skin-
Howling like a wolf
They pull me from your tomb-
Disgust your response from my wild kicking-
The irational need to lay on soil ground six feet above.
