Dank essence of twisted memory
Enshrouds concrete lowlight caged unconscious
Steel hardened moldings wrap and caress
Increasingly frightened form as cold sweat
Blossoms from frantic brow
You can smell them in the unwashed air
That hangs in waiting
They know youre here and you know
There there it wont be long
Black slanted curving floor
Provides no grip
For clinging claws and grasping
hopes that slip and fade
you slide so surely toward THAT corner
no time to wonder
no place to think how you arrived
or search escape while every sinew, gasp
guttural instinct cry NO!
it cant but it is
the fate you could never face
even in hates most self-pitying moment
and that fact alone makes it so much more
fitting, fearsome and righteous
while internal denials howl in your ears
reality and memories weave a gaseous mix
to enshroud your choking minds eye view
and the more you try to push it out
the harder it is to breath anything untainted
by smothering fumes
blood oozes from fingertips that vainly grip
unfeeling asphalt armor belongs in this place
that you dont or maybe you do?
As the slope steadily increases and fingernails splinter
You fall to the promise
Of crunching metal and broken glass
On curving floor of destinys parkade

Wow, this poem is kinda distrubing and yet I like the way it made me feel, I liked the shivers it sent down my spine as I read every line.
Very good work KM keep writing like that |
