Because we might never meet again,
I will walk
into our fairytale future
and tell our story
to arms-full of our grandchildren
at every bedtime.
Because we might never touch,
I will be the snake
climbing up my spine
to unite with her lord:
you in my mind.
Because you have frozen time –
I will slide down on it
as the light
that will meet the one
that will leave
from between your brows
with your last breath.
