I am finally washing myself
From all the dust
All my wounds healed
My body a dress of scars

I cannot stand
Sleeping on lovers' bones
Or writing letters to the dead
Any longer

However, how weird is it
That I miss the kiss
The lips
The warmth of touch
The rush of blood
In my veins?

[That's why
Sometimes
I'm awake by
The silence of the night
It sounds like
The whispers of my ghosts]
