One step placed before the last
The last breath long since taken
Forward into the night the walk proceeds
There is no pain when the body is numb
Gratification is elusive in the absence of purpose
Another step is taken, and another, and onward
Senses are dulled in the cold of darkness
The heart pumps no more
Blood pools stagnate within the veins
The mind flickers as a disused florescent
Hollow shocks from decaying synapse
Serve only to move
Yet another step into the night
