The emptiness approaching

An emptiness approaches.
Two squirrels scuttle through red and yellow leaves, searching.
An old hound bays in the distant.
There is a slow breath beating at my chest, a frozen moment to reflect.
A ceiling fan spins, spins, spins; shadows cast swiftly over a rough terrain, a desert white spreading over tin and plastic.
My dogs sleep soundly.
I fiddle with a pen as I think.
The right speaker on my stereo fizzles mutely.
I find myself closing my eyes, swaying forward to the sound.
The approaching mountains quicken, find blood, find fire; my fingers tremble, strain and break.
I pause.
Fireworks.
I hear fireworks.
I forget the light above me, I watch its shadow pulse.
I have blood on my fingers.
It's not blood, it's something else.
Dirt?
I scroll the page back up.
I scroll the page back down.
I strip my slippers off, drop them heavily.
I position myself comfortably on my couch.
I pop my neck.
I decide to stop writing.
I stop.
