Mightn’t I just lay down now
I’m so tired
Passed bone-weary last year
Let me just go to sleep
And never waken
Wish my beloveds a sweet farewell
There’s never been a moment of peace
I think I’ve earned some at this point
Maybe this has all been a random experiment
And my cell, never one that was expected to live
Maybe I beat the odds having come this far anyway
Maybe the Universe will sigh a sigh of relief when I let go
Maybe
Beyond the Skinny Branches 
Hang in there, dear. I saw a book featured on Goodreads today, I’m pretty sure the title was _The Universe Doesn’t Give A F@ck About You_ or something close to that, and I tend to think that’s much more the case than it giving a sigh of relief when one of us goes. Thank the gods we have each other and needn’t worry about what the universe cares or doesn’t care for us!
Peace,
Denny
