Pops

Therein he lie

Bells and buzzers aflight

Awash in overhead glow

From fluorescent light

Does he know?

Does he know?

Fluids wash on by

Dextrose drips and laughs

Some wicked candle dance

As measured graphs tote out the sentence

Does he feel?

Does he feel?

I am looking down

Like a dream of death where one never wakes

Like a bath of lies that only takes

And see myself in his cheek borne lashes

The pain of loss

Held back for the machines

That hold his soul in metal arms
