Vital Signs

Skull and breastbone sawn in two:
Brain and vitals -
Hubs of the self -
Suspended in coolant.

I fade back into one of my impostors – a
Silhouette of what was once a person, and
Wonder if this tenuous sketch is not in fact the
True self of which my default self is the
Ornate but threadbare counterfeit.

My
Life becomes
Limpid and spectral - 
No longer there.

I know now why others
Fear this affliction:

Revenant of our necessary end -

Stalking us from the
Commonwealth of Naught.
