pallor
By anaksunamun
some dead.
just the ghost of a dead.
All they want is to just lie down with you, you lie down and they lie in
your body. They learn to clench their fingers in time with yours, to stare
at the dawn colored ceiling as you do. The sound you make inside your mouth
is like a heat inside theirs. They are shaking with the sound of you, the
bouncing of your bloodbeat, they raise their chest slow , slow like blue
noise coming down the winding of the stairs, wherever there is lonely.
These dead have eyes like the morning moon, you were the most beautiful
mirror ever made; wherever there is lonely, there is only you to them.
Place them in the light of the window and proceed about the day.

I especially love the line "you were the most beautiful mirror ever made" - that seems to encapsulate the whole of this piece. Ciao, T/S
