Sweat falls from the brow
The chest rises and falls with forced labor as its erratic metronome interrupts each movement
Muscles tense, seizing the spine in a paralyzed upright
The dry and cracking esophagus calls for water.
Lips tremble to grab the spilled droplets
Eyes open and see a glimmer
A pair of pin pricks on the celestial shell let a dusty green glow flow in
The sky darkens and as clouds dart off the horizon
But the green glow stays steady
The walls of the world crumble away as an all encompassing embrace cradles weightlessly
Static fills the air causing the hair to stand on end as a chill chases down the spine
The green dots begin chasing each other in a spinning waltz, faster and faster as time slows
The orbs gain speed as they come closer together
A flash of garnet and then nothingness as the dancing green fairies touch
In their place, a solitary white blue glow slowly swells.
The world falls back into place as the white blue glow grows
Time begins again as the white blue glow grows
Steadily, the white blue glow overtakes the sky
A calm before it reaches takes over as thoughts of the soft green abounds
In a calamitous second, all is accepted as the white blue glow dissolves all that was and will be
