"It is not dying," hissed a voice like scraping granite
Brittle citrine eyes unblinking
His breath didn't stir the glacial air
My own lungs hitch
Puffing painful cirrostratus
The rictus grin
Knowing and serene
Open arms strangely jointed
Yet so welcoming
Electric currents gather in the air
Black bile surging
As shivers wrack me apart
Dark stars reel and tremble
Whirling in a maddened sky
Their warnings muted
By time and distance unknowable
"Fear not the loss of breath," he croaked
"Every birth is a drowning in air
Evicted from flesh, burdened into being"
The rest unsaid, reverberates within me
Unspeakable agony
Incandescent flesh
Ribs bent to breaking
At the limits of consciousness
The colors of the night
Bleach to white and intensify
To neon hues of putrefaction
And the liquid glow of rot
Drawn to the deep places
The iron in my slowing blood drags me on
Beckoned below, I crawl beneath in silent awe
To join the unliving
To join the unliving
To join the unliving
