You are standing on my grave. . .

I can feel the weight of your presence. 
It is hot down here and I fear that I am suffocating. 
There is the stickiness of sweat against my flesh. 
The musty staleness of dirt in my throat. 

I smell nothing but damp leaves and earthworms
and the crisp acrid odor of smoke. 

There is an angel on my grave. 
I can feel the weight of her presence. 
I hear the fluttering of her woolen wings. 
She is calling to the stars for me. . .

And I am waiting for the moon again,
when light will fade and I can emerge
and bathe in the black waters of twilight.
