♡ Dance 🤍

I’ve never longed for the annulments of Heaven, nor for Hell, that orgy of repenting, but have wanted the loneliness of this slender room and bed, the cool neatness of being dead: to be reduced, cleaned out, a manageable mess, nothing left but knobs and buttons, the skull an empty crock, the pelvis a washed plate, the ribs laid tidily, side by side. And I would be gone, not that stern white dress, not that thing with the Bible on her breasts. I would be nothing but one narrow room of sepulcher, one barred window where traffic never brings its soot, the ear clean and empty as a scrubbed cup, the tongue at rest and I, free at last, the window of myself cast open, and all the sweet lament of mourners throbbing in the distance, the angels’ white blouses pinned to the line of the horizon. I would be alone, alone, in my maidenly tomb, my own woman. Finally. And forever.
