clutching yellowed escape plans
as you remain on this familiar course.
exhausting strides over chasms
strain your tendons and you limp.
snarling riptides seize your pride
and you blindly swipe at the thief.
reflexive defense imprisons you
and you are alone in your emptiness.
rusty gears creak in mundane rituals that
steer your mind through dizzying rotations.
vapid connections break in the slightest storm
and you are swept away, unattached.
you no longer feel the weights gripping your feet
and you tread along with nobody at your side.
muscle memory fuels your expiring flame
and you soundlessly dim to a mere
recollection.
