Embrace

Death, you and I
have a bone between us.


You pull and tug
but I would rather snap


than bite down any harder; I am
already unhinged.


Can we talk about this? I do not want to be
a burden, yet you make me


lonely for a dark place; I would rather share your room
for cold company, than be released
from a warmer, less certain embrace.
