To be relieved of this life's shackles, how sweet that might be if you are infested with disease/ pain. A human earthly life no longer providing any pleasure. A kiss of death would be very welcome I suppose. Typically, the female equated with birth, new life, new realm. I personally would see this female role as more of the lusty seductress, not the tenderness of a motherly touch/love. I would have expected more a deep passion between lovers. Not the same love of that with a child. ( Not healing a boo boo kind of a poem.) Visually this lends itself to beauty and is very compelling. And if you had actually wrote flailing arms it might have taken a complete comedic turn and that is not what this should be, I think. The concept is edgy. Cool poem. Unique.

Thank you for the brief description. But I sensed something of "until death do us part," in this little piece of poetic magic.

Is that "living peace" or non-living piece, as she is just ghostly hands sifting you...-e-
