Into The Fumes

Into The Fumes

Words flow like worms
Swept along in the silt
Of murky river beds
No match for the currentย 
And contentย 
Of a cluttered unfiltered head

Moments perish like daffodils
Fragile to a stiffย 
Spring breezeย 
Petals turn dark to auburnย 
Permiated with jaundiceย ย 
Depicting decaying diseaseย 

Ferrous dust lines lungs
Along with chokingย 
Metallic fumes
Time ticks in slow motion
Steel faced suppressed emotion
As impending doom looms
ย

I have seen it. I have felt it. Never able to capture. But you have.ย
