FOREVER CHANGED
(Sandra Mello)

Yes, it stains
Like the length of days
Loss has laid us low
There’s a hole in the hole

The sky is smeared with sight
We stared so hard all night
Underneath we lay
Ropey tails of DNA

You are so brave
And I am forever changed

You, you must be going now
I’m left with calendars and memories how

We did this together
There’s so much time in forever

Yes, we’re still alive
And we’ve breathed each others’ breath
For a long time

Death may be as sweet
As we let this life be
And you are so brave
That I am forever changed
