Mortality

Published — 27.10.2024

Staring at each other  
Looking for the right words
What else, I ask
Blank stares

She tells me about Chinese novelas
Documentaries and the Terra Cotta
Bowel movements and health

I don't know what to say
I can't find my words
Tell her About my fears?
The last fling, perhaps…

Sometimes I love you is enough
Words not needed

What more is there?
A world?
I clutch for something—anything

She'll be gone some day
Some say
I guess let's just make it for today
