My Undoing
\nBy

I do not want to be reborn. Before is filled with darkness and sorrow, learned fears, and sickness.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let my death be an unfolding, unburdening,
\na blessed untangling, a sacred unveiling,
\nan easy unloosening,
\na gentle unhusking,
\na tender unlacing,
\na sweet unraveling,
\nlet me be unharmed, untasted, unbroken, untwisted,
\nlet union with my Beloved be unstoppable, a hungry unclothing, a wild fulfillment
\nunconditionally accepted, unequivocally wonderful,
\nlet our timelessness together be unrushed,
\nour passion unabridged, and shame unlearned, the moments of bliss exquisitely unquenchable,
\nour union unbreakable,
\nlet my soul be unchained,
\nmy heart unlocked,
\nmy hands uncuffed,
\nmy soul uncrumpled,
\nlet my conversations, once and for all, be undramatic,
\nlet my soul be untethered, unfaded, unfallen,
\nlet there be space and time to unfeel, unform,
\nto become uninhibited, unfurled, unjaded,
\nlet the warmth of breathing together
\nbe the unfreezing of lifetimes of winter,
\nlet death be joyful unmaking, unmasking, unquestioned,
\nlet my fears be unneeded,
\nmy hours unnumbered,
\nmy Beloved\u2019s love
\nunavoidable,
\nundressed, unserious, unending,
\nlet my unsteadiness be steadied,
\nmy innocence untainted, untarnished, unstolen,
\nmy self-hatred unthroned,
\nmy soul untrodden,
\nlet me finally be
\nunwrapped,
\nunwoven, unafraid\u2014 the gift of an old life unlived\u2013
\nlived now, and shared in the hands of his eternal acceptance—
\nlet this be my undoing.<\/p>\n
