I had a bracelet with two beads one fell in the sea,

it was a lake actually,

the others in London,

somewhere in the city,

they're probably being kicked about,

it's probably stuck in between the ridges on the sole of a shoe.

I left an earring in berlin,

it broke off while swimming,

and I didn't know,

but I knew,

I told myself I'd be ok with losing them,

because they matched my swimsuit so well

//

And so I said to death, “Why be it that you pull me from the throes and the busies of the world, from the bark of the dog and little infants tear,why steel away conscience from the smiles of man and drown in sorrows those they hold dear, do you not feel the flame lick our feet as we step through hell above, or does thou only weep in the joy of a soul, a dove.”

//

Now one of the earrings is at the bottom of a lake,

the lake I swam in for hours with my cousins,

splashing water and playing catch,

bad English and bad German,

miss communication

and missed opportunities

and missed connections,

and she's crushing on a boy at the beach,

trying her hardest to impress him,

but we're giggling together and she whispers to her sister and we're kicking our feet on the paddleboard and she'll say something outrageous and we'll push her off and she'll drag us under and we're laughing so hard

we'll forget,

the earrings,

the boy,

the limited time,

the awkwardness,

the missed opportunities,

the ocean between us.

Because it was never about the boy or the earrings, was it?

//

And so death said to me, “please, sweet child o’ mine, I do not do the deed, just the messanger for the divine. When your tale is laid to rest, I come and sweep by. O to store you in the libraries of the best, of Charon, Eros, and the mind.”
