Emily Veinglory

Not another poem about mortality...


she's gone
well
her body's in a room
(if you count that)
but she's already burning

sheez, gone
her body's sin, a room
if you count a... well
(a deep room)
or is it me that's burning
with each breath?

Jesus, God
she's not in this room
we'll
visit her body here
(a waiting room)
for death

Please God
spare me such a room
(hell)
the body's sin
is life
when life is gone

(a deep gloom)
time to turn in
visit her body here

in case
she's not gone
