The machine

I broke from a sprint
To an infinite fast run
The flowers and trees
That held my heart
Flashing by
Like ***** rainbows

The heals of my kindness
Dug deep into the terrain
Toenail tips blackened
Ankles twisted
Insteps arched knowingly

The machine
All encompassing
Held you
Extracted the sum of your parts
Empty where you lay

Your soul
Hovered above us
Unclear instructions
And you flew away

Lucifer arrived in a dream
That very night
Twisting and bargaining
Grabbing at all I had left

I broke from my sprint
Into my infinite fast run
***** rainbows my new norm

My sacrifice?
I can't ever stop running.....
