No Escape!A Poem by Bobby MaddenEver feel trapped?
Ground, narrowed space, frozen, jagged, slippery wet ice, never
defrosted, excruciating skin, muscles, bones, every attempt, all intent, to
act, to move, to stand
Walls, in four, closed in, claustrophobic, electrified, employing single touch, detonate approaching carcass, inside out, driven, propelled, initiation, attacking succession from other walls, other electric assailants, aggressors Limbs, bound, straightjacket and shackles, unbreakable restraint, lungs combusting from struggle, ground of heart flooding, desperation rain, acid of terror carried within Mouth, gagged, taped, unable to cry, utter a sound, a noise, excessively accumulated screams inside, breathing corruption, hyperventilation, staggered implosion, massive eruption Throat, strangled, flesh and larynx choked, inflamed, over-tightened, rusted chains of steel, pain implemented, oxygen constrained, salvation of strenuous resistance, forced against physical will Eyes, stapled, sewn at lids, sight diminished, still enabled to witness, observe all-around reality horror, burning, stinging from tears, unwillingly bleeding from heart, cursed hemophilia Mind, afflicted, poisoned, venomous substances, images, visions, existence only in most vast exasperation of nightmares, injected into mental veins, blackened and blurred, frightened and enlightened by muse of insanity Cannot overcome deprivation of movement, of action, of power Cannot escape paralysis Cannot eliminate obstruction in function of organs, of passages for oxygen, the seductive air Cannot escape suffocation Cannot notice evidence, omen of hope, ascertain reason to believe Cannot escape despair Cannot gain freedom of confinement until torture mercifully takes life Cannot escape imprisonment Shivered in cold Shocked in voltage Shaken in panic Stricken in torment Sickened in fear Starved for faith Scared and scarred for life Cannot get out… Cannot break free… Cannot die… Can never… escape. © 2013 Bobby Madden |
