My flesh feels heavy,
the layers growing fine;
restraining,
aged like wine.
Dusty, rotting tombs,
of memories in death;
lodged in my throat,
restricting my breath.
Broken I lay,
dreaming escape.
My chest in palpitating,
like running feet;
growing childishly impatient,
aching from heat.
Cracking sinuous bones,
arched in decay;
buried underneath my skin,
burdening my legs.
Broken I lay,
dreaming escape.
Author notes
feel so tired.
