Introspection


Take in

That breath

Sink slowly

Bottom rest

 

Still limbs

Still mouth

But restless

In thought

Take two

Back one

Repeat

Repeat

 

Fight back

Give up

Live life

Let go

 

Darkness

Clouds in

Last chance

Embrace?

Death claws

Or face?

Life's fate

 

Think quick

What now

The hammer pounds the bell....
