Confinement

silence and stillness blue star at night
thin layers of paint peel back
thin ice sliding about to crack
revising revealing riding confide
all at once fast flowing liquid inside
deep realization sacrificial lamb black
smoke rising from beneath the ashes
divine intervention maturity prevention
gasping for air scratching at the ice again
encircling lines withering fading away
dots dithering white
snakes slithering swimming in the sand
pushing the limits of what matter can understand
reveal inner workings twist it
turn springs tight back spinning right
cock the lever back click and aim
scrape off the skin we look the same
talk through the dark screen hiding
deliver whispers bombs dark flushed dreams
white pointy hats that flow
white smoke that burns things
silk sheets stained red at the seams
scratching the surface with no way through
gasping for air until my skin turns blue
