Everyone hears it,
Briefly before it all crumbles away.
Wet and dripping I retrieved.
Life from death with a hurried flicker.
I'm cursed with this perverted trick.
I can't bare to look at myself or it.
One side snickers at me through steel lips.
The other sings at me with an open mouth.
I see moths congregating above.
Will it swallow their light?
This happens at night near a lighted torch mounted on a wall, or near a mirror inside a building with insects including moths trying to get inside. Matthew is still alive.
