Poetry Drafts / 15 January 2020

shine

If you find me too toxic, then
consider this proposition:
I am your reflection, I am
your history; & the bones just broken
are mine

The dead and their whisperings are
my legacy. Our merger - our marriage
long since written; written into the
stars above & above

we will shine
