"She'll be with us."

 

I left before you were taken to the pyre.

Not a tear when your mum and I hugged.

I lied to her, "She'll be with us."

I saw your abuser but I didn't bash his face in.

They wanted us cursèd ghosts out of their #orbital.

In my cave, I laugh and scream, "She'll be with us."

bad luck

 

Long ago, I had the luck

To compare the #lambent sunrise

And the look you gave me.

Curled up against each other,

We forgot it's bad luck

To compare the sublime.

So long ago.
