Invitation To An Old Friend

Poetry

Public Domain: Sarah Siddons as Isabella from ‘The Tragedy of Isabella’ or ‘The Fatal Marriage’ by William Hamilton 1785

Because butterflies of my skin

Are peeling away,

It is now that you should

Come find me, old friend

It is here that you should

Hold softly my disintegration.
