Last Rites - by Doug MacGowan

Last Rites

 

Time purees

And missing you 

No longer holds a shape

 

\"No Vacancies\"

Screams the sign

No room at the inn

Another place, then

Another town

 

Your scent, your voice

Their colours fading slow

Softly slip their moorings

And are lost in the wind

 

The last outpost

The far-flung reaches

Where nothing echoes

And even your name

Melts in my mouth
