Nothing Gold Can Stay

ETERNAL EMBRACE

          Archeologists in Italy have discovered a couple buried
                 5000 to 8000 years ago, hugging each other.
                ROME (Reuters), Tuesday, February 6, 2007

That ‘s the way I want to go
in her arms, teeth intact

Discovered in five thousand years
a beacon to the loveless masses of the future

Our femurs and tibias co-mingled
a love only bones would know

We’ll be like black and white movies
an innocent portrayal of a time long gone

They knew how to do it back then, they’ll say
just imagine if they still had eyes.
