Fisticuffs were words tossed to the wind
muted conversations like monologues
I did not hear you, my reply met deaf ears
and the noise seemed to swallow us in.
The bowls of the roaring monster were not pleasant
they reverberated the angst of digestion;
depression that ate me wholly.
Help?
for if it was not for some miraculous hand
may I lay there still, to be
dead; but I am alive and alight
and the hand holds me higher
still...
still...
still...
it is as if you are an angel
show me the way
