Someday, it will be the end.
It will be over
and if you believe in Heaven,
I will rip you from your mother’s warm embrace
pull out the thick umbilicus and strangle you
with the only thing you ever
truly wanted
watch you fight the blackness that creeps into your eyes,
bursts of light, the sound
of rushing water
in your ears
the silence that welcomes you
home
bring you back
and start again.
