It rings slow and steady,
Matching to my rocking.
A folded shelter forbidding the entry of you.
Blinking once-
Twice,
Triple lashes whip each other as well.
Like shallow echoes of the bells
Through each collapsing second.
Waiting for the words to stop,
Hovering over my quickened pulse
Back and forth I go and so does my vision;
One mg and one sip of water per day
And one indifferent stare later it becomes
Invisible.
Floating through oasis after oasis
With the clouds inviting with their light facade.
But no amount of water or mg can erase the alluding illustration,
Capturing a hope I can not share as your words protrude the silver palace
You barricade with a steady,
Drip,
Drop,
The clock is not to stop.
The race carefully quickens but I stay still.
The wind blows through my ears though it bounces off the water.
Flowing throughout,
Waiting to be popped,
A bursted surprise of waterfalls on each side.
Cascading through limbs attached to me too stunted-
Wobbling around like a horse trying to gallop by swimming.
Though should I remember its
All in my head.
You should want to
There's a reason why…
Everyone wants to..
Yes,
It seems to be the case sealed shut with iron bolts,
Chilling to the touch,
Goosebumps match each raised mark
And colored lines the fabrics don’t show.
How can I run?
I am blind to it apparently.
Just take a class!
I don’t want to-
But you have to; everyone does!
What about me?
I don't and even as I stumble,
Veering sideways too often.
But sight of it is a feather floating away ever too slowly
And will never change direction.
It follows the ridges.
Scars in the canyons that cut
Deep into your
Precious necessity
That I spit on with lilts that
Get you to stumble for once.
