Tell me
how do you breathe
When the echoes of the past—
like thin splinters—
are lodged,
immovable,
in your windpipe.
And everytime you inhale
the mouth gets full
of salty metal.

Collapse my ruptured ribs
Fill the cavity with dirt
Bury me under the endless sky
With the old wood and decaying maggots
Let the soil take me over
With tiny blades on my peeled skin
And mingle with the salty metal in my mouth

I’d wanted to set fire
To all my bridges
Of old wood, home to maggots
Yet you found a narrow passage
And threw away my matches
Into the pool of my blood

I laid out my bones
and peeled
my skin.
But I hate this side of me—
kept hidden
even from me.
Yet you found a passage
straight to my lungs.
You ruptured my ribcage
and pierced the edges
into my heart.

Let’s promise
To meet again
In our next lifetimes,
To begin what we couldn’t
In this life
Let's promise
To meet again
When we’d be only kids—
And fall in love
Between classes.

#endless fawning over spilt milk
Who’s going to mop it up
Lick it clean
Clinking of glasses & broken bottles
Lost memories in ye old school yard
Brushed aside by bully’s delight
Hideously alone with no signs of hope
Poor Bambi cries for mother & we too in desperation #fastprompt

#narrow minded forgiveness the type that eats away at your entire being
I watched humanity pass them by
their cruel intentions dedicated to faraway dreams & here their nightmares were put on display
Screams of agony & tortured tyranny
A masterclass in mentality

Endless
An afterthought among the celestial womb.
I can be endless here, alone here, with an overcrowded mind.
Isolated and all by myself.
Forever among the stars.
Floating endless here.
With everyone on my mind.
Infinite places and time.
Always with you.

his thousand yard stare
was endless
as he looked through her
at some distant place
that only he could see.
he floated between
reality
and whatever his mind
was conjuring.

We'll walk these endless halls
Half-formed photos blur by
As mid-conversation you turn
And find you're talking to no one.
Your 5th prompt is: "endless"

I'm tired of it all: Passage of time, passage of seasons, passage this, passage of that. Everything is a bloody journey. Can it all slow down for once? Can the path end in a breathtaking landscape, not a brick wall? Can I sit still and breathe? Please?
KT retweeted
the walls are folding in around me
narrowing within inches
of my fingertips.
closed off from the light
we can no longer scream
as the walls keep pushing in.

Traverse the narrow alleyway
Lonely cars and one bike
Line the street
In the fog
You hear the familiar sound
Of a car coming.
But nothing's there
When you look.
Your 4th prompt is: "narrow"

we paid for passage
and crowded in behind
packed in this narrow space
edging closer
to the realm of the dead.
#fastprompt 260:3
Stuck at the bottom of the passage
Both escalators going down
With no escape
With every step
No closer to the surface.
Your 3rd prompt is: "passage"

the time between classes
has stretched long
decades
of fully furnished memories
wherein the pieces
are constantly falling
over the edge.
#fastprompt 260:2
You caught the bell
Between classes
Doors shut tight
And locked.
Footsteps behind you
But no one's there.
Your 2nd prompt is: "between classes"

Narrow
We always go through color, into shades of old and new.
Between here and now, we fall through.
Ink spots to populate the empty plane.
Just beings, built on a college of feelings.
Only the electric sheep dream of.
Narrow is the speed of time.

echoes of footsteps
stretch out behind me
in the dimly lit hall
subterranean refuge
realm between
the living and the dead.
#fastprompt 260:1
The echoes of your footsteps
Your voice as you call to no one
And only you answer back
Only your steps come back
As a strangers
Your 1st prompt is: "echoes"

Passage
The body is frail, something of a disappearance.
Sleek, slyly and a misdemeanor.
Crimes of passion, crimes of a season.
Passage is given to those who tear their wings off.
A body of scars to illustrate the world.

#passage of time gleams a tapestry of emotional contradictions
cascade of elemental convictions
Trying to grasp remnants of fiery repose
negativity is too close
Home truths remained a scant reminder of deviant disarray
permanently edged on a graffiti wall unnoticed

Between classes, we shuffle like the walking dead, red eyes, stfling yawns. A traffic jam of the young and sullen, dreaming of summer. One more week, just one more week...
KT retweeted
Between classes
Between classes, Between caste.
Between null and void.
Between you.
Between everyone, Between the new.
Undertones.
Deep in every shade.
The darkest hue, spiral out.
Between the undertow.
Between the waves.
Below you.

Eerie ectoplasm
Curious cats
Horrible haunts
Outrageous omens
Every evening
Stomps, screams
The sounds that reverberate
In my new gothic manor
