I saw you shaking
trembling
unable to
control your
broken body

I saw your breathing
become
harsh and quiet
so faint that
I couldn't hear
it

and then I saw you
dying
I saw your soul lift up
and out.

I saw you break free
from the corpse
that could no
longer hold
the jubilance
the splendor
the joy that
is your soul

float away, my love
float away
towards the laughter
called the stars
and to
the dark side of the moon.
