papercut autopsy.
Neatly written and fatal
Your notes hold more than I can
Words cut autopsies
First, pallor mortis
Pale blue skin, blue lips, blue days
Contagious cobalts
Then, algor mortis
Your coldness then had scared me
Now, frigid’s final
Last, rigor mortis
Could one heart still another
You‘ve laid mass worlds stiff
Just a funeral
Life’s library stuffed in wood
Cold skies, stiff and blue
