Dead Again
Dead Again is the title of a 1991 movie that I loved. Popped in my head today and thought it might a good prompt. I hope you think so, too. Poetry or prose.
i will die for my resurrection
before acceptance there is denial, anger, bargaining, and sadness
before the second coming, there is pestilence, war, famine, and death
wound precedes stitches, blood precedes bandage
casualties before peace treaties, battles before victories
this must end before that can begin, you must leave and allow me to love again
heartbreak buys a house that love will call home, truth breaks in furniture that wisdom will recline upon
a deluge is cried before a rainbow is painted, the tree decays before we replant it
