in cemetery, vienna
I’ve seen you,
‘you exist’
I say
in this moment
where all else
falls away.
Gravity pulls
tears past
shoulders and
hands fall
feeling heavy.
Strange comfort
with strangers
to them
I am just emotion
[yet I am just]
So I break
from bleak
crack open
to my fluid
core
I pour out
onto your
shoulder
where I am held
‘Please stay’
you say
‘Keep me here’
I reply.
