My breath battles the Blackness

My breath battles the Blackness.

Transparent pushes against oblivion.
Every dim heartbeat, a battle drum
Every lung a horn to call the air.

Eyes mustering the light
Only skin to fight and
Arm against the Night.

But the Void invades
This little mouth—already won—
Conquers my chest.

I am my own traitor;
Each breath loyal death.
