It started with sand
from the sandbox
and because it felt good
and they weren’t bothered
by it getting into
all kinds of places
they kept at it
and eventually upgraded to
cigarette ashes
They were making love in a bed
full of them
and it didn’t bother neither
Ashes were far superior to sand
«Ashes are far superior
to sand,» she said
«Um-hm.»
«So let’s promise then. Promise that
whoever dies first will have
their ashes snorted by
the one who stays alive.»
«I promise.»
They embraced each other and felt
the ashes in each other’s hair
and kissed
knowing that the day will come very soon
They were both 28
