    a whirlwind
    spins

    my eyes are closed
    as it spins

    it spins on top
    of the fragile
    flickering wings
    of a long-dead moth

    a whirlwind
    cold metal whirlwind
    spins inside of my stomach

    my eyes are closed as I watch it spin
    I can feel it
    spinning inside of me
    my stomach
    unbearable discomfort
    nausea
    permanent cold unbearable discomfort
    that is which spins

    it spins on top
    of the fragile
    flickering antennas of a moth
    covered in dust
    resting
    slowly dying out after so long

    so long it was
    when she died
    the moth
    two weeks old

    eternity overcame it
    life was not bearable

    when the whirlwind came
    spinning
    the metal whirlwind
    inside of my stomach
    hurting and flickering
    covered in dust
    my stomach
    resting
    slowly dying out after so long

    two weeks

    I am fragile
    my eyes are closed
    as I watch
    I’m cold
    covered in dust
    long dead
    after two long weeks
