Elegy for Virginia

A pocketful of stones
is the only reminder
that I have
of this existence.
Pardon me,
my love,
for I can't stop
the sinking -
no matter how
hard I tried to stay
afloat.
But as I sink
deeper into this abyss,
know that my arms
were kept outstretched
to your beckoning light
and that thoughts of you
will be the last thing
on my mind.
