Rose Mary Boehm
My Death And I
We are walking arm in arm,
ambling along the fault line
between this and the afterlife.
I had to force her to touch me.
She says they never have contact.
However much she explains,
however little I understand,
it feels good with her by my side.
She says she is only a gatherer,
the cutting is done by others.
