Eternal Breath

the body deteriorates every muscle and organ failing a catastrophic climb to maintain the bodies' duties but it slips, takes a plunge and now your heart flutters the beats become your final bass notes as the head adapts to the helplessness it's a pain like no other a terror of the unknown- then gone. As if a gust of wind swooped in to grab the soul all light lost The corpse lay in a captured moment listening and hearing the final words It lay there listening to your eternally warming breath Sarah Casey
