When I Die

When I die I want to achieve immortality As in, the spaces between all your breaths The time between the impulses sent to blink your eyelids The mute partitions separating all your heart beats Finger on your lips; all the things you left unsaid All the tears that did not pool to fall down your cheeks All the words you did not scrawl upon cards The thoughts that never finished forming The aborted brain impulses that short circuited The emotions that never came to completeness The stillborn ecstasies hidden in the nights blind depths The syncopated pauses between the nerves and neurons firing The Morse-coded cells of your body sending the song of your whole being Into the deep womb of lost galaxies and forgotten time Into the never expelled sigh that holds all your souls breathtaking loveliness.
