WHAT DIED IN VENICE

Claire Sims

will not die for me,
will kick in its coffin and claw at the earth for i saw a silent language in his eyes i never learned
yet knew by heart

beautiful girl
boy
girl
on a tightrope, tiptoeing over a border you call it pride before the fall
i don't really say much at all but

what i wouldn't give
to find fluency in this,
to get on my knees and tell your god

i am as i was made

oh god,

i am as i was made
