Analysis of Fates Retort

To live beyond the moment,
        and write as love doth now befriend

It’s light burning brightest
        as my hours grow short

The beginning reunited
        with the journey’s end

All memory imploding
          on fates retort”

But the window stays open,
my heart beating faster still

All time enslaved in a final breath,
one last line to say—I will
