[bodytext] => Dying, Stumbling, Clawing for breath. Rolling, Almost unconscious; I hear them talking, I see them, Barely silhouetted against this cold afternoon light, I scan the crowd. The pain; intense now, This burning fever burrows deep into my naked skin, The air hangs loose like a scarf around my neck. Profound, Po-faced, Disdained, Elementary confusion bounding around in search of a quarry, A new face among this stagnating ground, A curse of unknown origins, Bitterness and a scant waft of a smell arches through this aching face. The end draws near. And slowly as I drift off to sleep, Somewhere a door slams shut. The pale horseman arrives.
