Flesh eats
\nHair surrounds
\nPressure builds
\nWe all give in sometimes.<\/p>\n
Neurons locked behind watery orbs
\nSeeking, seeking, always seeking
\nAdversary, comrade, companion
\nIt doesn’t matter.<\/p>\n
Weighted down
\nBonds of cloth and silk and flesh
\nRip them! Tear them!
\nRend them to pieces in your thrashings!<\/p>\n
Wear the face
\nHear the sound
\nThe feeling
\nOf Sun through clouds.<\/p>\n
The night’s untimely pulses
\nBring you
\nSwing you
\nOver the surface
\nOf a glistening pond.
\nSing its secret song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
