The Fear of Endings
By Lidija Stupar

If you ever think of touching me,
Don’t, even if I beg you.
Because if you do, you will become human to me,
And being human is so vulgar and exhausting.

Morning breath, sweat,
A black hair on the white linens,
A yellow drop on the toilet seat.

I don’t want to see the other side,
I don’t even know if I believe anymore that it’s there,
And yes, I know I sound ridiculous.

Resentful sex,
Getting old.
Dying.
Disgusting. Embarrassing.

Stay as far as you are
So I can continue dreaming.
But if you can, please,
Will you stay with me forever?
