I'm Awake
January 15, 2016
I’m awake
Breathe.
Swallow dry nothingness.
Sweat so cool it seers my face.
The golden mane shakes with ferocity.
Zoned in on my vulnerability.
I’m dead, but suddenly instinct kicks in.
My body contorts itself.
I’m playdoh and instinct molds me.
I escape the jaws and moist muzzle.
I’m playdoh and instinct molds me.
My body contorts itself.
I’m dead, but suddenly instinct kicks in.
Sweat so cool it seers my face.
The golden mane shakes with ferocity.
Zoned in on my vulnerability.
Swallow dry nothingness.
Breathe.
I’m awake.
