Still alive

surrounded by a circle
the pain recedes
settles

feel of dust
rough fabric
cold

heat behind eyes
light harsh

but
here

Run

not away
toward

toward freedom
toward change
toward growth
stop

you cannot
stay

Sandra B Jun 2010

After

the flare up
the burn down

scent immediately

with each new flame
a string breaks

with barely and exhale
it dies
and then
nothing

Sandra B Jun 2010

Forced

Kept from reaching out
forced to reach in
locked in between

they pull away
they can't-
they won't

silence surrounds
deafening

captured-
by yourself

— The End —
