veronica
makes both ends meet
makes both ends meet in the middle
makes both ends meet in the afterlife

relationships in the afterlife
I met this girl; ghost, but lovely
hand in hand we wandered up staircases and down mountainsides.
We visited the end of the world, and laughed.
We studied the beginning, and grinned.

Later, at the Exchequer, we parted
we signed our vouchers with a flourish
she went up one staircase, I went down another.
I will see Veronica again someday, I hope.
