"everything that made youends here.the first soundof your whole lifeebbs and dipsin a green line burnedacross your last hope;a stream of black bilesighs at the quick of her mouth.the anchor of your faithhas come undonefrom the ankles bareunder the sheet,your body’s mirrora window onto backlight.all the laying on of handsbecomes a gnashing of teeth,your uncle’s handa flag to the alarmsa do not resuscitate,the halt of padding feet.how startled the last breath.how surprising the relief.afterthought of your armsawake keeping your brotherfrom falling into dust;here; hold him, hold him up;as she held him—hold him;though it's not enough,hold him, in the chasmof the last roomon the longest night,her brother weepsinto the wall.hold."
