The Echo

Hearing the first

breath of this expanding

death on repeat,

even the sun will go out.

Still it has a

name written on bed sheets

an endless ending,

closing all the windows.

How is it pronounced.

The word for

exactly how many tears

absorbed in a lifetime,

bone deep soaked through

this pillow

this skin

this life on repeat.

The only one sound left

or is it the echo
