2/15

Solutions dont solve themselves

Take a look-

Shes in for the ride of her life

The drunken idiots,

The gong shows


3/15

Trapped under a thin

layer of ice like a y

in amber

She was numb struck,

cold and there

Crisp as the twilight

air

Much as mist with

sunrise

Afraid to be seen

as a devil

She stood stalk

still


4/15

A breeze makes all the difference

for the ultimate zip

Ice burnt wind howls through the

crowd,

Calling her name

Her perspicuity leaves her

Oozing out of her pores

Her body impact-fully feeling

weightless as it ows over heads,

Through arms,

Legs


5/15

Losing her sanity

Gliding through the air, parting

sheets of desperation

Her boots nd laminate,

Landing


6/15

She steps into a

gallery of paper

hearts

Strung together one at

a time

After being savagely

sliced apart

Only to be coloured on

with dull red paint

Dripping everywhere


7/15

Sauvignon

in glass

utes

slide down

their

throats to

warm them

To relax

their

inhibitions,

Paranoia

She gives

herself

leeway

and lets

her boots

hit the

oor,

gyrating

With her

skirt

rufing


8/15

Explosive free style is the sweet

side, Shes always been a creative

one

From across the room thoughts are

communicated through seductive

gazes,Winks

Inebriated, she nds it difcult

to decode the foreign language

Lost in the opportunity presenting

itself- Confused,

Lonely-ness got her caught


9/15

Sly, persuasive gestures following

piercing stares

Cat calling and whistling brought

to a new jarring level

A lower level

There are limited options left


10/15

Squashing past

innocent by

standers plopped

in her way

Not budging like a

pissed off herd of

cattle in a eld

Long droopy eyes

Slobbery, drooling

mouths

Stepping on hoofs,

she waltzes past


11/15

Eyes meet

Nervous ngers touch

She bites her inner lip to abstain

from biting his

Fickle tummy butteries spread

their wings

Fluttering against her inner walls


12/15

Hanging her head,

Swallowing her pride,

The stigma unable to sting more

A haunting virus sweeping one

curve to the next

Carving out cavities in her lungs

Arent you supposed to build

resistance to those?

Instead, words are hitting

the oor With the impact of a

penetrating bullet


13/15

Opaque dust cloud bellows up,

Engulng the two of them

Finally settling like fading

reworks,

Slowly diminishing to the ground


14/15


15/15

A night terror swells up in her

throat

Part of her complies to her chains

While the other is held at a far

distance At the edge of an abyss

Ready to dive off -Bad dreams

leave her

Wondering why she woke up

screaming.
