Drowning in ivory feathers
fever dream
take my leave.
Marks all down my side
body aching
mind is wild.
Blood pumping through my veins
heart thumping
chest constricting.
Laboured breath through painful lungs
Hounds on my trail
broken veil.
Critical values broken again
fist to the face
stuck in this race.
Cobra winding round my neck
seeing red
terror-led.
Feel it slowing in my chest
on the floor
take just one more.
Breathe it in and breathe it out
fading out
please, no more.
No more.
Wake up, wake up!
Wake up.
I'm here.
I'm awake.
This is real.
How is it real?
