restless

in the embers
restless
breathing ink
into silent water
noise
an ephiphany
dance
on the fine line
the sharp shifting
simmering line
of your borderless
mind
grasp the edges
with your fingertips
shake
your
mould
this
is
commodified
deified
testified
and petrified
fear
so dark
and black
and thick
an oil spill
in your heart
density
no evil
not even a wall
a substance
you must walk through
walk through and feel
and feel
and feel
so the contours of your body
are ingested like a map
compass
a pulse
repeating
a pulse
repeating

In such a few words you created such darkness and fear. Very good!

Dark, vivid, and quick paced...the tension building--a fact hinted at from the very title. Restless indeed, makes one a little twitchy...potent little piece.
