burnt & dead
is the skin
where once
i cradled you.
death is a physical anguish -
i dig graves in the frame
of my own bent body
i am selfish.
i want in nights to calm you,
you who are no longer, perhaps never, mine.
but your joy came to me
like cool water on my temples.
there is no salve
for the living
