Skeleton Woman Pursues
She Follows me now, everywhere I go.
Just one step to the side, and behind.
Her presence permeates my every thought.
Her wide-mouthed scream,
sounds in every word I speak.
Her bound hands in prayer are lodged within my heart.
We are forming a disquieting companionship.
Are we leaving, or just arriving?
Her unquiet calmness
gives life and death to each moment,
a mad mixture of erotic harmony and discord.
Coexisting, where all things are possible,
yet nothing guaranteed.
A hole has opened between our worlds,
and within the chaos and confusion that pours into my existence,
lies a promise, a hope, a chance.
