Eventually

Eventually
There is forgetting
It is a high price to pay
The heart beats dry
Bloodless veins
Winnow like chaff
Arteries devoid of life
The gleam of fleshless bones
A relentless sun
A desert moon
A barren sky
Starless and forlorn
Sand swept velvet
Endlessly swallowed
The crush of heavy breathing
Squeezing the life
Out of an empty chest
As the hollow taste
Of saltless fears
Dries in sightless
Prosecution
Of what is lost.
