Final Walk (Written 5-14-20)
This feeling in my chest
like my lungs are being crushed
but my eyes are locked
and my body can only float
That glowing halo
the swirling blue and white
Thousands of winking stars
alight on dark velvet
This cosmic beauty
the far reaches still untouched
so pure like a breath of fresh air
but why is my skin so cold?
My collegues, my friends
their voices find me in the dark
but it's far too late for me
to heed their distant warnings
The line has been slashed
oxygen hisses out
into the silent vacuum
taking my life with it
