Until Death Do Us

Wild
Eyed and throated
Straining in screams
Floated
Into empty fields where
Feral animals stalk
Endless prey
And we talk
At a table, we say nightmares
As lullabies
We kiss the horror
Grappling our goodbyes
Into tomorrow
We wait for the casket lid
To snap closed on us both
He said

Nothing, until
All at once…
He told it all.
