Resuscitation Attempt #43

i felt the rain storm....,

cold weathered endless grey ceiling
Back lain against a
black driveway
water falls
Thump
CPR on the heart
thunder counts

Wind chimes dangle
Clinging together in despair,
ringing for an ambulance

AED connected.
a crisp monotone voice breaks through
earth’s shallow screams
lighting crackles
striking white against the body
jolted
pupils retreat for cover

splayed among the fallen leaves
water rains heavier down
pushing them further in the ground

The final resting place.
