thumping your chest
to repossess your breath
expertise doing their best
combined hopes and skills
couldn't do anything
breath gently leveling the line
showing the sign, and they shudder
pyramids taking a lateral line
now confirming, truth is unkind
as flat line outpours in this bind
slowly closing your eyes
you're now flapping your spine
drifting into the orb of sublime
dark, blank, nil
your breath in a while expires
