against
the wall
in the dark
heart beating
too fast
they’re
closing in
and you
know
it
and this
is all
you have
this moment
naked
alone
with her
and the moon
and that salvo
of stars
in her eyes
as you move
closer
together
against it
all,
the fortification
becomes
a force field
and
the zombies
moan
and groan
and cry
on the other
side
of the
energy barrier
but
they’ve
always
been
like that.
