Down

The increasing resistance
The open wounds
A paralyzed flock
Steadily drowns

The incline getting steeper
While legs turning numb
The quivering surface
The unavoidable descent

Off the edge
I have been thrown
Down

Vanished
All that I've known
Down

Reaching towards the unknown

Revelation yet to come
The self is growing stronger
The dusk
Remains longer

Like parasites, they devour
Violating the creation
The absence of the conscience
The shallow congregation
