A black and white
Image
On color stock.
Shades of gray ripple
Your ashen face
Deep worry lines over
Dark darting eyes
You want me to see it
You make sure
I do.
Understand
That if I touch
The screen
We are
Not female
We are
Not male
All I ask is
That
You survive.
We
Live
On opposite sides
Of the World
You talking and talking
About the past
About yesterday
Me silent
Gently
Imagining
Placing my fingers
On your lips
Stroking your
Snowy Hair
Saying “Hush,
My Darling,
Sleep
Let the past go
Think of today
Free yourself
Let it go
Take the burden
Off your back
Before it
Kills you.
Before you
Disappear
And leave
No image
Behind.
Understand
All I ask is
That
You survive.
