Poppy Day

when you fall
asleep you
leave me for
a far country

as I watch
your breathing
settle at
the border crossing

so is this
how we re-
hearse for that
final parting

partaking
the poison
in tiny
doled-out doses?

    Hey Amber,
    Thank you for your gracious comment. You should see the tangle of earlier versions!
    Peace,
