Vaccuum closing in Thrust against the wall Can’t cope Can’t deal Swallowing the pressure Divulge the power Clenched eyes shut And freeze the world Rigid in time To run away in darkness Escape the imprisonment Chains break And as the eyes awaken No notice of lost Would the world see? Tick on as though? While I watch from above Without looking Breathing easily But heaviness still crushing The sanguine rush Still the prey No escape but succumption For to stare down the lion Is tobe predatated surely Breath held tight Fade back in To be shaded out Still watching from afar As my feet tread the fear 1-12-98
Reason for writing:
I was feeling pretty low, and it seemed as though nothing could go right.
I wondered that if time froze, and I disappeared, would anyone notice when it returned?
