Withered hand upon the shoulder

Reaching through the shell

Grasped at the root

Unearthing what's been buried

Kept away from the piercing light

Out of reach and resolute

Infiltrated

Azure shround, cobolt drapery

Smothers fleeing embers

Fibres emit faintest glow, diminishing

Encircles finality unrepentant

Inescapable gravity of loss

Lay upon the head

Suffocated

Atmospheres of pressure

Crushing searching self

Bound to sinking stone

In waters devoid

Cleaved of form within tempest depths

Frozen and inert

Drowned
