A boy’s last kiss to show he is still there
A man’s last drink to swallow his dreams and fear
A boy’s smile on an ever-growing face
A man’s ill-content grumble and a fermented taste
A door swung open
A rattle of car keys
Two engines starting
A boy’s last words to show affection
A man’s last gulp and right foot leaned forward
A boy’s lost look of fear
A man’s lost care
A boy’s hospital high above
A man’s tombstone not to move
A boy’s slow breath
A man’s death
A boy’s subconscious awakening
A man’s lack of movement
A boy’s sight of raining tears
The wet mud
A boy’s jump for freedom
The movement of decomposition
A boy’s car, new again
The years
The choice of revenge, or acceptance
The broken bottle
The first breath after coma
No breath after death
