Don't look back

AWAKE.

Buried alive,

tearing free,

slipping through

death’s hold on me.

Uphill with the holy,

wails from behind,

running with only

survival of the mind.

No rest for

part-time enduring,

down by the shore

of no returning.

Nifty steps,

wearing thin.

Denied debts,

closing in.
