about to die

about to die

learning to crawl deeper and deep into the deep single shell
preparing to hide all further and far into a nascent far night
reasoning lesser and less fall into less dank dark destitution
wandering more and more into the futility more of a lost life
imagining night as darker and dark a future dark and unclear
hoping for love a greater and great accept the great and less
reaching desire nearer and near a finger near silently shivers
dreaming hearts longer and long while lying long in the lethe
losing a life faster and fast measuring moments fast now past
regretting the self losing and lost submit to a larger lost god
calling the voices louder and loud in loud violent vibrations
crying the tears softer and soft to touch soft cheeks curiously
coming to know later and late live a life so late and so slow
leaving a stage quicker and quick cut to the quick and gone
