A Zombie Crawls Out of the Sea

I see reflections in your faded eye
and where the other's missing shadows lie; 
I see your grinding teeth and snapping jaw;
I see your hand reach out to grasp and claw, 
but steep the climb and loose the dirt you fall.
Roll down, head over heels, spin like a ball, 
roll back into the murk you just escaped, 
dissolve into the mire, forget your shape, 
forget that you were once a man like me
and let the tide withdraw into the sea.

I wonder now if you saw me as well. 
I saw myself in you before you fell.
