The chair gripped like a bear
mauled into place
tongue tied, throat silenced
roaring....
ferociously .....
the door raged between us
locked loudly
cries , crawled their grimy patch
hung momentarily, felt the stale air
quietly gathering, pooling damply
cheek soddened in pain
giant force propelled, the floor
hard and unrelenting shocked my bones
breath forced itself outward....
black and rigid
the open window of before.... forced shut
palms spread across the floor
interrupted, reinforced toes stamped
crushingly, the sound resonating
without movement now

The chair gripped like a bear
mauled into place
tongue tied, throat silenced
roaring....
ferociously .....
the door raged between us
locked loudly
cries , crawled their grimy patch
hung momentarily, felt the stale air
quietly gathering, pooling damply
cheek soddened in pain
giant force propelled, the floor
hard and unrelenting shocked my bones
breath forced itself outward....
black and rigid
the open window of before.... forced shut
palms spread across the floor
interrupted, reinforced toes stamped
crushingly, the sound resonating
without movement now
