#asphyxiated
A ceaseless motion
hither and yonder
like the jumbling of blind ants
in a narrow path
of wet pheromones.
Backbreaking labor
A cruel slaver
lashing his whip
that cracks painfully
drawing blood from the back
of the hapless wretch.
A joke that amuses no one
An insufferable itch
demanding to be scratched
so hard that it bleeds
Then in a moment
snuffed.
Asphyxiated and forgotten.

The garden would not take root
Hardly a **** could flourish
No matter how much water absorbed
This muddy field left malnourished
Something was amiss in this mucky space
Ennui entwined climbing up the spine
Hippocampus left asphyxiated
The kudzu of the mind
Nothing but an entanglement of
Thought and emotion
Strangling the heart
In this confusing ocean
