Death has released her
from the chains of
purgatory.
For it knew that without
balance to weigh the scales,
that they would be relased
from this eternal silence.
At least in hell they
could have felt, but here
nothingness
was the reminder of their
indiscretions.
Death lingered on her outline,
neither could harm the
other, where his touch grasped
petals fell and within his cloak
did for a moment a deep silence
sang for a finite eternity.
A debt was repaid, but there were
many that both owed each other.
She kissed him on the cheek and flesh
was woven momentarily and a smile
ventured forth
before lips turned to ash petals and
tombstone gazes looked onward.
