pride is a problem
beta blocker, suppressor, slower
clamping my throat
when she fishes by the stream
reeling lines like candy through cloudy woodland
composition of her words etching a sinister repercussion
in my ego centric mind
why am i wired like this?
a fortress of walls, only walls
spires reaching curling down vine-like to lull
a slippy slidey slope
only to silence
