One short breath.

One short breath,

six short syllables;

the end of lives unknown.

Uncounted and unmourned.

The song of a conqueror.

I lit up again

and went back to work.

Whoa, a new level of Compressionism. The words are so simple. The words describe a straight forward physical act which the reader can see. But the entire story is in the sub text. It is impressive, my friend.

Interesting, how you go about saying so much in so few little lines.
