Thud!  Thud!

Vibration of the thickening sound

Voices. Familiar voices

Frozen lips too blue to call

Shadows deepened, silence reigned

Black silence consumed me.

Claimed me.

Covered me like a shroud.

Changing, melting, moulding

Liquefying into my space

Becoming one with the earth as predicted

Silence! Silence! giving life in death.
