Submitting to invasive tendencies
I climb over mountain peaks with visceral fragility
I wait to jump, exempting this desire to feel freedom, to experience pleasure painfully
Struck down, I laugh in the screaming face that spits back at me
I look away as any place offering safety flees
I am one shattered shell withholding dangerous needs
A seed waiting to expand explosively
Corrupted by generous moments of greed
Watered by each and every one of these
Hellish fantasies that catapults completely
Any common sense of distracting decency
From getting in the way of succumbing to reality
I'm allowing these taboo emotions to openly bleed
Frozen in place I watch them slide over me
My body is freezing beneath this showering volcanic release
I can't control it, I don't know why this is unfolding
But I'm willing to see where this is going
The wind is picking up around my knees
And there is this knowing
That another dimension has found me
And is slowly consuming
A tsunami of need
