People are like stained-glass windows.<br /> They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,<br /> but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed<br /> only if there is a light from within.

Behind glass windows
The world stands still beneath your
Collapsed lungs, still chest

The sky is devoid of stars

The machine beeps once, flat lines

It’s been three whole weeks
Your image stares back at me
The rivers, my tears

I chase your last breath with mine

Water tainted red, goodbye

I was assigned to create haikus. I created a renga with the theme of death. I will most likely never be satisfied with any topic I create, but I feel this one fits it better than any other that I previously came up with.
