Your body died today
Unexpected
Knife in my belly
Punch to my nose
Jagged inhales
I bawled
As if you were mine
Together for three decades
Sharing
Bonding
Walking hand in hand
A jumble of black stars
But we had never been
Only you
A ghost in my world
A voice residing in speakers.

Perfect Little Pirate
The rough, sodden rope bit into her fingers as she swung over the roiling water far below. Reaching out with the toe of her boot, she managed to catch hold of the rain-soaked railing of the ship- and promptly slipped. Throwing herself forward, she landed hard on the deck, slamming her elbows against the wood planks. The sharp yelp of pain quickly bubbled into a laugh, and she rolled onto her back, laughing up at the gray sky as a torrent of rain washed away the soot covering her skin.
