He sees me.
I hide
In the dark.
Like a child,
The quiet solitude keeps them out,
But I
Can’t feel.
I move it.
He sees me.
My hands rise
To keep the pulsing
In the dark.
And I
Remain hidden.
I drop them.
I follow.
He sees me
And I
Stop the sound
Which threatens the earth.
And I…
They part.
In the dark–
Can't speak.
He sees me.
And I
Turn away
To distractions.
And I
Look back.
And I
See the stars.
He sees me
And I
Make a mistake.
It rushes,
The sanguine stampede.
And I
Crumble.
The weight.
He sees me.
And I…
Sickening fall.
The earth shivering.
Like Pompeii,
All is lost.
And I
Wait.
He sees me.
