Entering survival mode.
Feed upon your remaining heart.
Attention:
use leftovers parsimoniously.
Take that one everlasting memory.
Stage a friend, a dearest one.
Plunge into poetry.
Take a deep breath.
Remember all the words
in a myriad of fairy worlds.
Acknowledge:
nothing left to say.
Acknowledge:
no one in the distance.
Exit survival mode.
(*) In extremis: (Latin) "in the farthest reaches" or "at the point of death".
