walking requiem

I fade away, 
a lasting gasp -
I die by miles, 
none too fast, 

'til in the end 
(imagine that!),
I guess
I'll let this spark collapse
in darkened frame

of flat matte black. 

So, until then,
by such light as
I can produce, perceive
or fight, I'll wake and sleep,
hard up, down soft -
and see

what's here
to be shook off.
