[REFLECTIONS]

have you ever looked into the eyes of someone dying?
Or see the way a dying person breathes?
The way each breath looks heavy, gasping.
She still has beautiful hair.
They put lipstick on her.
Her cheeks are sparkling.
Jewels in her ears.
Skin still pink.
And the room still warm.
Family from over the city and across seas on call.
But she’s small right now.
Yet the people around her keep her big.
Might been my first time watching someone take their last breath
