Worry-Ers of the Past

Worry-ers of the Past


Tears subside into sleep
Sleep subsides into Death
Arms wide open to receive you
Down in its murky depths

Frozen but aglow with warmth
Rivers of a salted sash
Meander on my face like yours
Flag us forever
As worry-ers of the past

We sink you and I
Dead, but still breathing
Dead and domineering
Afraid of our power
Burnt from shadows and feeling
