the dark has come
with no breathing
and no power of movement
outward dissipating
inward falling
inward shrinking
mind disintegrating
backward rips
heart remnants tremble
forward void
the now is all
the now is stagnation and paralysis
and soul-withering
smaller and smaller
and the now that is all
is fading
flowers try
colours are weightless
earth unto earth
death unto death
deathly
dead
dark
dead darkness swallows all
