Staked to slate by ache and fatigue, unmoved am i not a breath drawn nor exhaled as the blistering sun traverses a merciless sky like a snail. I close my eyes and feel the pulse i've become, baked, a beating continuum.

To the bone
Staked to slate by ache and fatigue, unmoved am i not a breath drawn nor exhaled as the blistering sun traverses a merciless sky like a snail. I close my eyes and feel the pulse i've become, baked, a beating continuum.
I actually wrote this a long time ago one hot summer after work. Sometimes a state of absolute bone weariness can permeate one's whole being.
