Felt the beat of my heart beside me,
saw a cut on my chest that divides me,
the rhythm of my heart surprises me,
the source of the sound defies me.

My vision cleared out and I could finally see,
a triad of ugly lights surrounded me,
my hand had a paper bracelet with my name,
it was a chaos of screens , wires and periodic beeps.

It struck me hard , and struck me clear,
suddenly I had all the reasons to fear,
the things which were billion miles away,
suddenly looked so very near.

I tried to maneuver and halted half way up,
every logical catastrophe , appeared logical enough,
I wanted to disbelieve , failed a million tries,
I saw my heart in distance , beating on crystal ice.
