That feeling— Night running between tree trunks, Bark scraping your cheeks— Before smashing face-first into: Goosebumps, Neck snapped, The blood leaks, That feeling is freedom— Before you awake unfeeling your body, Legs useless, mouth drooling dumb, Welcome! You're one of us now, The obedient numb. I can! replaced by May I? Physical stagnation, ornamental degradation of the soul: the will dies always Alone.

Freedom
That feeling— Night running between tree trunks, Bark scraping your cheeks— Before smashing face-first into: Goosebumps, Neck snapped, The blood leaks, That feeling is freedom— Before you awake unfeeling your body, Legs useless, mouth drooling dumb, Welcome! You're one of us now, The obedient numb. I can! replaced by May I? Physical stagnation, ornamental degradation of the soul: the will dies always Alone.
