Birds To Finish by Susan Isla Tepper

When I lifted you 
out of wide clouded
smokey black despair
Thought I was hoisting
a dead man
Your finger moved
and I screamed 
stupidly 
Could bring the enemy
hordes tracking us 
You nearly gone and
my voice rippling
hoarse while they tear up 
my body
Stringing it in a tree 
for birds to finish
