My hands flutter up, make haste, to hide from you my hollow eyes. I am dying here, as you are too-- writhing, gasping, we lose this fight. Your eyes, a mirror, are vacant too, both our souls retreating, forsaken. I am screaming silent sand and dust, your name an ache, in my dry mouth. I watch your lips, fight death's grip, holding tight the shape of my name.
