A sequence

Alive

I feel

Only when asked

The fear of stillness

Paralyses the arms and legs

But frees the eye to wonder

To seek the light that breaks through

The mold shaping every other little moment still

Looking frantically for that single instance of pure imperfection

A glimpse of wonder beyond the fascist machinations of sanity

You rebel out of vanity, standing tall above all else

Roaring through your teeth, feeling your hairs rising individually

Only to look back and stare at the

Last empty gaze of suicide sinking slowly

in the trenches below, blood thickens

Whispers louder than choked dreams

A well landed joke

Death and rebirth

Breathe slowly

Again
