He lays nestled in her hair
His arms holding her as gentle as a prayer
Memories
all that is left of yesterday
Has anyone told him she’s not breathing
He can not sleep alone
Unable to move
he gifts to the earth his flesh
Together they shall dream
where death has no name
The trees bend their branches to blanket from the night
but there is no warmth
His mind wanders searching
Colours fade and shapes begin to blur
Inhaling delicately
breathing in the forest
where the mist
whispers
his
name
fee
