the flickering candlelightthe
lavender scent rising off the hot bathwater
appleseeds silver web which she
spun slyly shivered artfullydanced with its shadow in the corner by the ceiling above washbasin inhabited nowhopefully
by a descendent he called yaaintnoappleseed so
fuckin original sitting quiet as still as appleseed
had while she attended him
his cats indie and october sat side by side on the bathmat their heads tilted back looking up at him with wide imploring eyes
his cats indie and october sat side by side on the bathmat their heads tilted back looking up at him with wide imploring eyes
he bid them adieu and slipped down into the baththe hot water lapping at
his chin lavender in his nose
enjoyed the flickering silence
then out from behind the slender web of silence wovenperhaps by another kind
of quiet spider he heard the bathwater escapewhispering
dribblingcautiously devout sips slipping
down the overflows gullet
in that sensuous
sound he heard his sisters voice
I don’t want to die.
I don’t want to die.
he listenedhe tried not to Gulptried
to quell his tears as they sprung into his eyesrolled down his cheeks
AwBaby
I . . I don’t want to die . . .
but I’m going to . . there’s nothing more that can be done. I want to live. DAMN this cancer.
My . . body . isfailing me.
his tears kept coming
somehow he didnt betray them
I love you very much honey
Auw . . I love you too.
she wept into the telephone
he listened
he tried to send her strength
he didnt want her to die either
Oh. I don’t want to die.
the overflow sips the hot water
it metes the
inevitable drip of cold Time
he was aware
aware
very painfully aware
yaaintnoappleseed took a few
steps toward him as appleseed had to console
him
