I lie flat on my back
spreadeagled
life seeps through my pores
mingles with the earth
around me, saplings raise their heads
and wither
I count seconds with my heartbeats
time slows down
blood coagulates
breath freezes
it hangs in the air above my face
posing existential questions
The mind empties
one memory at a time
one thought at a time
until nothing remains
but your words
in what had once been
