La Petit Mort

Neville

La Petit Mort

 

Gasp pant sigh

Moan heave flinch

 

Take note of each of these

Involuntary contractions

 

Each a separate convulsion

An inseparable ache sublime

 

Then concentrate on pelvic thrust

Note the ricochet of rib on hip

 

And for a moment

When each of us is overcome

 

Sail or glide into temporary oblivion

Then when there is no more breath left to take away

 

La petit mort

They say
