-unreal reality-

I lay sprawled on Mother Earth

The sizzling sun blistering my naked body

My dry tongue licks the dust off the naked field

Helpless, unable to swallow it for lack of saliva

The tiny particles lay speckled across the inner walls of my mouth

Laying on my chest, my eyes rolled

To observe what the left of my face rested on

The sight of the barren field with intertwining networks of cracks drawn upon it

Made me feel real.

Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath

I guided the scent of the green grass that once grew here

It took me away from real

Summoning all of the very little life left in me

I rotate my head on the frail axis of my neck

I look around the light brown expanse

I do not miss the friends

That once stood on this ground

I felt real now.

With a valiant effort, quickening my death

I tossed over and lay on my back

The agonizing pricks of the rubble shifting from my bare ribs to the back

I gazed upon the azure skies

Not a cloud sailing in the blue sea

I waited to be freed.

When death did finally come

I was the realest i had ever been.
