I awake immobile. Make any move and the world will fall apart, Along with all the schemas we devised; An insatiable heart, not my own, batters my insides, leads revolutions. An existence between blink and breath, A mind with quick, cycling resolutions. Next to me a man stirs from partial death. His stoic shadow rises on the wall, Comes towards me in a crawl, Hovers over me for an eternal moment, And in a deadly second becomes omnipotent. The young man gives my corpse a shake; Little known to him how long I’d been awake.
