"Mes de los Muertos"

A Flight With Death

By A. J. Huffman

A Flight with Death

A white satin tux.
And our old sheets.
Tattered,
and stuck to the wall.
Are all that surrounds Him.

I sit.
Still.
And shimmering.
Purple
in the light.
As He pins
each line
of a shattered parachute
through my skin.

He does not feel
the pain they give.
And I can no longer see
their scars.
As He holds my hair
back.
And drops us
over the edge.

I'd love to get in touch with A.J. after reading much of her work.
