Close to my neck my ghost breathes
A word once spoken – now it slips out again
Into the coldness of a life
Into the room quiet with memory
Already he whispers is it gone.
Before we were stained glass
Around the weight of our sacrifice, ready
Like a dry, curled leaf
For the moments that colored us and
Ready to be
What we knew we would be, we were
Broken.
