large sinewy wings flap horrendously above my head
there are creatures whose teeth bare blood and flesh
their capabilities are far more than what i assumed last week

my legs are pencil-thin, my arms, too, i'm like savory fresh meat
but i run, and run, and run, i refuse yet to be deceased, to be dead
