Remains

See how our bodies  
gyrate through the night  
never tiring as they seek
release from tortured longings.
 
The shiny bodies are  
beautiful and worthy  
of our lusts, but even  
our kindest childhood  
smiles are reduced to ash.  
 
Even the whimpered  
sighs of our sweetest  
unions will one day  
be silenced as we  
surrender all that we were
to the flames.
