immanence

 We collide with life's expectations
We hit death the wall of it all
bricks those solid lost attempts at memories
crushed and gone blown out and drained away

the body lies flat the glints of recognition
summarize and exit the eyes
whatever the destination
our heart pretended it knew

Part of us fights to exist
on the concrete we are broken
smashed lungs and ribs
fractured and empty

searching for our breath
in the darkness
upon the reawakening alone
naked blue flesh in the cave

lost and cut from that life
could tears still stream
sadness manifest
you raise a new hand

it's foreign
you try to smile in the pale light
old flavors return
yet no sensations

what kind of creature are you slowly to become
what have you retrogressed into
Pale lost creature
cold in the dark
