Threads now severed are all that was left
holding together some facsimile of sense
crafted from the mud of days
repeated repeated repeated
and never lived, only felt
washing over skin like a veil carved from marble
The face beneath is screaming
choking on absurdity
as its own hands grip the walls
dragged down ever deeper
searching for air in lifeless barrows
beyond a maze gate hanging from its hinges

What do you consider a luxury in your life?
