and it is snowingin thin flakes of white
they fall on skindrawing shades of red and pink paper heartsinto cherubic cheeksof pale splendour

when i die
set me afloaton open watersand watch until i fade away
we shall convalesce where the ocean meets the sky and our eyes can see no more

i pause andmy cigarette falls feebly

tied gently aroundslender pale wrists
leather wristlets adorned with vivisected jewels
those split flower blossomsfrom happier times

small hands upturned;
soft submissionto the coronato the celestial& the beatific
