    25 Whales

    25 whales washed ashore the night i died
    while
    53 old women in shadow covered towns
    gathered their coupons for the next morning
    i lied on the grass and inhaled sweet promises
    made to deaf angels, each as lovely as their
    wings
    and i
    a mere mortal
    knew it was time

    I like it, it reminds me of the movies white, blue and red

    This one is really good too!
