Regressive.
muscles twitching and mind wandering. Why have you come back to haunt me? Bones popping and creaking, a death rattle of hips and shins. But I no longer wish to right any sort of wrongs. If only you considered me then, the way you consider me now.

Aching for escape
Restless, restless Exhaling a thousand sighs. My wasted breath this rotting fruit. The seeds won't germinate and I won't sleep. Have the vines choke 'til slumber.
