Death (The Sandman) I

Death is listening to you all the time.
Not me or everyone. Just you.
I see her winking back at me through the bloody pools of your eyes whenever you go into that destruction mode.
I think she is a happy person, most of the time that is.
She knows she was your first love. And with that certainty her shadow waves at me whenever you swear eternal loyalty.
She can wait…
But still, as ephemeral as we are my love, whisper it for me. “There is you, only you, forever you” and as your lips trace the words the echo will cut into your very soul.
She can wait. She’s good at it.
But I’d love to see the look on her face when she opens you up and sees my name blazing through your skin like a mark from a momentary but oh so important paradise.
And that’s immortality.

Humble apologies to the admired Mr. Gaiman. His creation haunts my dreams from time to time… always in English.
