Sacrifice
-
Mary bangs her head against
the wall
-
trying to force him from
her memory
-
and back into the world
-
and fill his lungs with
her halted breath,
-
moisten his lips with her
lonely tears
-
she can't
-
crumpling to the floor
-
hoping to rouse herself
from his death
-
Mary pounds her head with
clenched fists.
