I want to dig up your grave and die in it

I cage you
When you are free, you break yourself on windows
I lock the door

Weeks go by
I live stepping one way, then another

In my hand, a peach
the cleft pressed to my lip
sweet floral dust

Where are you now?
I am wondering.

Where is that silken grain
which my fingers pushed
and how come your body
weighed no more than a moth
and got no more than a shallow grave
wrapped in paper?

I smell you in his wet hair
dust and lime

I want to dig up your grave
and die in it
