Endling - The last known individual of a species or subspecies. Once the endling dies, the species becomes extinct.

Bowing down through ancient pulse,

the last lovers left alive…

Cycles eclipse, collapse, re-birth...

The tide of breath that holds. 

 Bones to stones, the trees in lungs

The dark space of quiet minds.

Carbon devours, in ritual soil

the sacred loops of time.

 The Endlings,

gatekeepers of what will be,

forever lovers in death.
