the feeling in your feet
one tucked under
tight knees, stiff back.
shoulders tensed,
head clear, eyes tired.
eyes open, lips curled,
full lungs.
Heart racing, adrenaline.
nails biting, teeth tearing.
ribs crack, muscle rips,
blood sprays, red drips.
they must die
when they jump.
knees buckle, brow
sweats, last breath.

the feeling in your feet
one tucked under
tight knees, stiff back.
shoulders tensed,
head clear, eyes tired.
eyes open, lips curled,
full lungs.
Heart racing, adrenaline.
nails biting, teeth tearing.
ribs crack, muscle rips,
blood sprays, red drips.
they must die
when they jump.
knees buckle, brow
sweats, last breath.
