la petite mort
(the little death)
O, my sweetest peach, ma chérie…
let me bestow your petite mort…
With a petite-grand finale;
come the gifts of fireworks & fantasia…
the gifts of a first breath and a last breath, the Gift of LifeAndDeath…
And let me bestow you such a pleasure
such a celebration of this, life that we use as a given,
for we are faberge fragile – if ever we are;
we are….right-now, right-together…
Maybe my words of mortality conjure up images of the gothic and finite,
but I promise you {my holdin’ one} I am no hooded ghoul here to steal your light…
I am already a bearer of my own light, and I’m the bearer of your little death;
orchestrating the chorus that sings of your unique meaning,
that accentuates and punctuates a galloping breathing –
for that two in one special: the synchronization hearts beating…
When I give you your little death,
then I will admire an afterglow as bright and wide as the sun-shattered earth,
which will lead into a flush of life, a longing----stretching---- birth of joy –
through and through – let it thru to your every trembling toe;
your sin-sensational declaration/the ringing of your ecstasy’s exclamation…
…Echoing/echoing/echoing,
through and through – let it thru; this is a reaction of the shared alone–
…Echoing/echoing/echoing…
this is The Big-Bang of Personal Proportions,
through and through – let it thru, to every sin-sensitive bone–
as of this moment –you are triggered by pure electric reactions…
O, my sweetest berry, ma chérie,
you will be my own, little scythe/my own, inspired little death,
and our sheets will be cleansed in death-sweats; and, as a pair of ghosts
we will wish to die again, and again – so that we may have another chance to cherish,
another time to haunt… to relish… to flaunt,
ours/yours/my, grand, petite mort…
