Is that you? In the mirror.
Unstoppable, decay.

Is that you? In the plaster.
On the wall. Fading away.

Is the heartbeat, so disjointed,
that you will fade, and fade away?

Has your body, completed changing?
Does the blood vapourize, then decay?

And is your father waiting?
Is your mother waiting too?

And your husband, and your husband,
Is he waiting, there for you?

Is that you, in the mirror?
Unstoppable, decay.

Is this then, how we pass?
We just pass. And pass away.

Substance and wonder... personal or historical... art or reality?

I love the illustration. I've seen similar before, but have no specific knowledge to tap into - an electrical circuit? Or a read-out diagram of a beating heart? It looks like an 'early' diagram. Electricity and heartbeat are so closely allied.

Nicely worded and a good rythym. I like this,
