may we rest in peace

some sot filled fingernails scratch the surface
of Love unchecked, or an apathy towards a spreading 
cancer: this boy, digging splinters beneath his fingers,
mixing blood and earth, or maybe passion and pity,
while he tries to recall, the memory of his lovers lips,
a tenderness so soft, he cannot hold on to the feeling…
without the worms…without the maggots- stealing 
away the depth from her irises, those Edenous portals 
now portals to some Greater End, that never ends, and
promises a forever, he didn’t think could come so soon.
