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.
