Dead and Alive

He shook her.
He shook her.
Again and again.
He shook her.
His lips trembling,
his hand clenching,
a drop of sweat falling
from his creased brow.
'Why do your eyes look dead?'
He shook her harder.

Her lips parted.
Her voice dropped like a penny into a well.
Monotone, monotone, monotone.

'For something to be dead,
it had to be alive to begin with.'
