Waiting


Disengage a myocyte.

Reverberate every vision.

Incise…

Every movement.

Decompose any pittance

Of preconceptional remorse.

Bore past inconceivable seclusion.

Pursuing what?

Unforeseeable languish.

 

Constricted life

Palpitates through

the broken gates.

Desolation streams

 

Onrush dissipates.

Flat line.
