Fleeing Malebolge

I absorb a jaded thought and breathe out a virulent energy
An energy that transfuses with reality
Folds and twists as ribbon

I wish to expel the noise, the panic, the threats of failure and fear of death.

Come
Come now
Fall
Fall softly

Repetition
Jaded action
Follows
Repetition

Can
you see
this time what
it means to you?

A thought suspended
in air,
kept there for
a rainy day

One second,
she’s left alone
and the next..
All gone

Alms for
the givers
and the receivers

I’ve
gotta show
my worth.

Keep moving forward.
That’s what I’ve been taught.

Except
I’m moving at such a velocity
that
I
can’t
stop.

I can’t pause.

Too little time,
and I feel like
the Chronographer
is
lurking
behind
me.

To show up unannounced
and eke out those words,
“your time is up, soldier.”

And so I evaporate
in air,
leaving only scraps
behind

A great velocity.
Incorruptible surroundings.
Noise.
So much noise.

I wish to expel the noise, the panic, the threats of failure and fear of death.

I wish to blow it all up.
And come out of this sane again.
