Everything is invisible.
Everywhere are foes.
Every swallow of air
Sounds with gurgling.
The fear
Squeezes
Mediastinum
And the heart
Shrinks in
The chest
As a puppy in a kennel
Escaping from a slaughterer.
It’s
Beating hard
And waiting for
The sign
To attack.
The tongue licks
The dry lips
The flare gun should
Shoot
The green.
And pavor stream will
Spread and
Get the whole.
Winner will be who
Outfight own dread
In spite of that.
