The Dying
in the abyss
one searches
the dark
in a timeless night
forgetting all things
backward
and forward
all the steps
it took
to get there
and then you’re there
at the ending
when all you want
is the beginning
when you were first born
shaking and lost
and somebody wrapped you up
and held you close
and you could hear their heart beating
and it was familiar to you
this soothing rhythmic sound
from far and away
and then you were asleep
