Mummification

I remember your last day

Like it was just yesterday

With your heart in one hand

And a feather in the other

I never felt so damn anxious

Awaiting your judgment

I know you didn’t understand my words

And you won’t unfortunately

As you make your way through the field of reeds

Bandaged and embalmed for your extended leave

For we just crossed paths at the wrong time

As numbness became a part of that mental decay
