Lost
•
cold deep
slaps hard stone
as evening winds rise
mocking the breath
of life now lost
to the light-less realm
beyond this chill
encircling me
no emotion here
save grief
abandoned house
a broken stair
a grasp-less hand
an ankle bent
held-apples spilled
sea birds call
but no voice came
to her futile cry
ocean breeze caresses
the tender neck
once softly kissed
now broken
those lips
will not know again
sweet fruit
nor love

Roy: “I've...seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost...in time. Like tears... In the rain.”
Deckard: "I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life... anybody's life... my life. All he'd wanted was the same answers the rest of us want. Where do I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die."
