long living the new flesh
by Shane Cotier
she walked away
from all the best
parts of me
what magicless
talents
my fingers
forget
and now
how I long
to drape
myself in
sin
to sup
eternal
resurrect
sans regret
let her bless
my body
with those
slow hands
let my
conscience
grow quiet
and my memory
dim
I'll regress
in darkness
warm with
feeling
night's intent
I'm half
committed
to(o)
never seeing
light
again
