Climbing the stairs
clasping an axe. Climbing

the stairs clasping the axe.
This is my last thought

before my head bounces
on the landing. You got me first.

Classic us. Classic you.
Cinematic classic.

My body stays upright afterwards,

something for you to hold,
which you do.

- from Half-Life by Eleanor Tennyson
