Perhaps she was reaching for the stars,
Fingers beginning to curl out,
To try to grasp at them.

Her eyes were certainly directed at them,
Her chin tilted towards the moon.
But the hooded nature of those eyes,
As they seemed to roll backwards into her skull.
Mouth agape, suffocating with frozen lungs for eternity.

Perhaps her fingers where curling towards herself.
Gesturing something towards her open mouth.
Gluttony consuming her as much as she consumed it.
