these couldn't be hotter off the press.

it crept in through
the shadows
and rooted around as i
escaped to greener
pastures.
in hopes of
preservation
i approached with
caution
but still was
overcome.
now that i can feel
it growing
perhaps it will
blossom
and soak up rays of
sun.
…
currents chase down
my spine
as my stomach turns
circles
kickstarting my
heart.
the blushing begins
and
beads of sweat appear
after sparks turn to
fire.
cracking from the
pressure
my body splits in two
as the eroded tethers
crumble.
…
a rusty chain hangs
over the edge
clinging but barely hanging
on.
each time the gears
grind
another link is let
loose.
freedom has its
downfalls
soon each one shall
learn.
but inching forward
keeps
them quiet, even as
they break.
only if you listen
closely
can you hear their
weary cries.
