"The Dyings have been too deep for me, and before I could raise my Heart from one, another has come."



-Emily Dickinson


Beneath some ugly, repulsive
Death
Is a bitter love.
Franticly dreaming
To have life.
Awake with sleep.
Delirious with beauty,
Moaning that woman’s name
To create
A symphony of screams
To wake the dead.
The language of dreams is a sweet one,
It suits time.

Stop.

A sordid tale is being told
Of the sea being still.
A pleasing picture for
Ships and sailors.
But not for me.
For this stillness
Springs death.
Ugly, repulsive
Death.
