They will place you both in a narrow coffin
packed too tight to bear
such cloesness for you two.
In the darkness you go first
and then him so close behind it is
almost not worth the diestinction.
You first- it is only fair
since you came first as well
and bore him along as on a leash
a long wet cord from which he issued
went forth into the world but always returned.
When you die he will die too
and it is hard not to hate you for it
for giving such life as is possible to love him
and the taking him silent in your crowded tomb.
Author mother be kind
and let him die alone
before you claim him set him free
and bury him on his own.
