SURVIVAL
I will not stay
I can't
here the ground
is sinking
like quicksand
only betrayal
and deceit is found
each word is connived
as though each speaker
within himself carries
a ready lethal knife
they said to me:
' just stay a while'
but I knew the storm
was brewing-Β Β guile
wore an insidious smile
escape routes
they had planned
none had I---
where could I hide?
Postscript:
I left
my life I saved
I survived!
