to the ends of the earth

by conor thew

at the end of all things
the crumbling earth
the ache in our bones
the weariness of gods taking in the
scars and the scorch of their greatest mistake

i will take your hand.
smooth my thumb over the callouses
liver-spotted, amber nails cracked from worried teeth

i will kiss the night away
soothe your rattled bones
soak myself in your warm gaze once more

“we have this, my love.
i am yours til death, and then some.”
