Run Off

A charge

in between

our skin

like wire

runs deep,

perspire,

make seem

we're fire.

 

The group

like lice

that form

my eyes

absorb

the light.

Transform,

make right.

 

    We burn

    our houses down

    then turn

    our eyes to town-

 

    Then run off

    into the woods

    to blend in.

    I know we could.

 

The kind

of hate

I found

too late

has gone,

escaped.

Evap

orated.
