Stopped moving, final twitches - ****** dry - Colorless - Eyes still open, tongue hanging free - "Dead as a dog" - just cold. No I don't want to linger on the cliche of death But I still wonder how the life ebbs away, silently How it unsticks itself How the limbs, once stiff with life Resign into the shadows With that final sigh.

Stopped moving, final twitches - ****** dry - Colorless - Eyes still open, tongue hanging free - "Dead as a dog" - just cold. No I don't want to linger on the cliche of death But I still wonder how the life ebbs away, silently How it unsticks itself How the limbs, once stiff with life Resign into the shadows With that final sigh.
