Pine Box

By Goldfish

A race. A rant on a leash. The death of hope and all we look up to. A weekend at the lake. A fart joke expertly timed. A bedbug infestation. A lingering glance from a fair maiden. The concert while you sleep. A cougar with big tits. The light that guides me. The darkness that surrounds me. A reason to open my eyes and, also, close them. A reason to press my body against yours. To get drunk and think of romance. To wish you were invisible. To drink the water of life and pretend to be dead. To kneel and pray.

One

At first I saw her naked black feathers

Golden hair

Hard nipples

A ripe pear.

Shining white and blind

A girl with no faith and no name

Baptized in the name of Christ

Born in the body of Our Lord

Chariots with black and white horses

Lost warriors in rivers

Choosing life

And death

The look in her eyes

The taste on her lips

Of the deaf and defeated
