The Mute Beauty of Souls

She'd spent years

Split into spirit and body

Looking at herself

Painfully self-aware

The physical would face her spirit

At the dining table

She'd float above herself sleeping

Watching her body and her dreams

Like one watches a surveillance camera

Relishing the irony

That she was only united during orgasm

At that brief pause of her heart

She pitied the unified people

Who'd only get to see

The mute beauty of souls

When death untethered their two elements
