broken it could
no longer fly
and my upturned
face swimming . . . more

Near as Hell
As lovers can be
This side . . . more

Yes, he died today. I still can't believe he had the nerve to die. I feel so abandoned, betrayed, and slightly ill. Selfish thoughts I can't seem to control.

The days file away
Marching in dirge style
Nights fall like wounded soldiers they
