It's Lovely to Meet You, That's All...

I'd love to carry your lively corpse

and gently, playfully, smiling, place you down

on silken sheets meant for you to feel luxurious.

While I sit upright,

One room away,

Thinking if,

Waiting for,

Something that didn't ask me to smile,

but lightly lifted the edges of my lips

and held them there.
