Bodies are not letters

Dry as death, cotton-mouthed.
There are no singers, not here.
I swore we'd meet, again, together
In a better world, forgetting
The only real one is here.

The rain is pittering, softly.
Steps patter, slow, move away.
I am dying, my lovely, and dying
I wait for you to come, to join
Like you promised me.
