Burial

Through torn strands I whisper
To battling shadows.
In their horses’ breath they utter
My name
Calling me back
To the onset of dreams.

I recall
The tunnel and its warmth
Gushing forth
In gulps of sinewy agony.
I was embalmed within its walls.

Thoughts are avalanches
Sealing tunnels.
Only shadows speak
My fossils remain...

'Thoughts are avalanches
Sealing tunnels.'

This poem reads like a man's memories of his death... scattered yet strung together beautifully!
