The cover of flowermouth press issue 2 A grave is harder to dig from the bottom up. Death did not take to me kindly a porcelain corpse in a glass coffin. It does not matter if I went kicking and screaming or if I was the perfect little victim of a life well-lived I did not drag myself from the mud and dirt to be a beautiful cadaver I did not crack my fingernails against the coffin lid, retching up blood and sinew to crawl back into the same silhouette. I make a mosaic out of my bones, I slough off skin. I remember I am not done yet. I am not done. I wonder if it is a mercy or a curse to be perpetually incomplete, collecting "almosts," dragging along the weight of "maybes" until the day I die, crushed under the weight of impossible possibilities. A grave is difficult to dig under the weight of earth and expectations and I will not write my name in stone.
