Skin And Bones
The skin that sweats is not his own: the bones that creak, the air that rushes through lips as they knock hips and scrape teeth over one another’s chins, the tips of noses -- it’s borrowed, to the last sigh, the last brush of tongue. He grasps tight, hard enough to leave bruises against those capillaries, vacant and dry; gasps as they peak into emptiness, nothingness.
He falls against that chest, broad and warm, and when he hears the heartbeat of a dead man -- trilling like a dove’s song, a raven’s screech beneath his cheek -- someone else’s blood runs cold in his veins.
He’s lived forever; he’ll never forget.
