The fear builds up
around me like a yellow
elephant-skinned light bulb.
I stare around,
alert eyes not expecting,
amazed as the adrenaline bulb
turns on,
blazing,
eyes being crushed
and stomped into bits and pieces
by the fiery army boots which are worn by the marching radiant heat
worn by two eternally growing, glowing electric feet,
eyes crushed into tears,
rushing from my eye sockets,
my thick, creamy, burnt black tears
slowly
start boiling,
turning sticky,
rushing down my neck,
gluing it to the glass elephant skin.
I feel the burn
penetrate me like a hundred thorny tongues,
squeezing way down my delicate,
red petal-skinned throat,
those fear-filled singing snakes seek refuge inside of me,
I cant stand this abuse, this self-abuse.
The heat bakes my bones
expanding them, making them swell up,
swelling up as large as white dinosaurs.
They leap out of my body
like a dead man jumping out of his grave,
jumping out of his extinction.
They shatter the light bulb of fear,
killing the electric adrenaline,
leaving me in the calmness of darkness,
What’s left of me lies here,
like an empty jacket
my remains lie on the ground.
The wind blows me away
with her hurricane lips,
storming through me,
cutting me up.
My body flies around,
like a million dead leaves
under the wind’s control,
I have become the wind’s slave,
the winds of change.
