Recessional, Obviously Different

Light

Down, decaying, dying down

Receding like a wave

Down decaying, dying down

Behind my closed eyes

Down

Dying

Down

The red of the black of a closed eye

The hum of the pounding of a pulse

Down, decaying, dying down

A body receding like a wave

Down

Dying

Down

The body at rest losing heat

And the heart slows

Down, decaying, dying down

And time is liquid, pouring slow

Down

Dying

Down

This is the very best of moments

Down, decaying, dying down

This is the very truest of moments


Down, decaying, dying down

It can only last forever

Down

Dying

Down


And end.
