You are not dead, Dorothea Lasky

I  would love you if you were dead

but you are not dead you are alive

you body ringing in me, ringing true

ringing true, not like a blue nerve net

encased in glass

not a red rubber heart encased in glass

not a burned out body encased in glass

but a real thing,a soft thing

a soft and wild thing

i am so glad i left the world

and found the wildness beyond in you

i am so glad i was brave enough

to leave the place in me that was not wild

to go into the cave of life that is not dead.
