Down

The increasing resistance

The open wounds

A paralyzed flock

Steadily drowns

The incline getting steeper

While legs turning numb

The quivering surface

The unavoidable descent

Off the edge

I have been thrown

Down

Vanished

All that I've known

Down

Reaching towards the unknown

Revelation yet to come

The self is growing stronger

The dusk

Remains longer

Like parasites, they devour

Violating the creation

The absence of the conscience

The shallow congregation
