deathbed

your escape.

your heart.

this burning in your throat

is the only thing you know.

your lover.

your ache.

but it is also

your deathbed.

go ahead

take another sip.

go ahead

a coffin is supposed to be comfy.

what about us?

what about your family?

but that's ok,

because at your funeral

there will only be fog,

empty seats,

and your deathbed.
