The Widow’s Share - An Elegy

[borg-apologist]

This is 100% about that Horny Softcore Porno Andy did that one time (that you can watch here) and for @robots-and-lizards.

Your blood on the sand      dries tacky,
grains in the bulletholes       in your back.
And it’s p e a c e f u l   and    q u i e t
just for   that moment   while you,
(Steve McCoy,    darling, dearest boy)
stare blue-skyward.

There’s s a n d on your lips,
ocean s a l t on your skin.
I wish, lovely,      to kiss you
back into      l  i  f  e itself.
That my lips might pull
the bullet      from your ribs,
your blood      from the sand,
put your torn skin      right.

But dream, please, little one.
Let your last moment       be pleasant,
your last b r e a t h swept in
briny   sea   kisses,
my icy hands      on your face.
