The poison is attacking her brain
forcing her to feel things,
things that disturb her -
thinking
she struggles to breathe
a match between her life and insanity
she's gasping, now
I can't get it to stop
It hurts to unsee
these things I've seen
forcing free her grasp
delicately - as if she were a flower
slowly now
slowly
it stops
she stops
she can breathe again.
