the rain pours

Wrote this going off a single word: escape.

run run run away

darkness chases, light evades

turn a corner,

up a hill, daylight breaks

faster faster faster, go

blood runs free, sweat is cold

arrows dig;

running deep, taking hold

crawl crawl crawl in dirt

almost there? can't be sure

as I see it

I go still, can't endure

the rain pours

Author's Note

Ignore grammar: I'm usually quite the grammar officer, but I felt it was necessary to create a slight sense of chaos in the fleeing's narrative.

I feel the descent and the fevered mind spiraling, a quick descent...looking forward to reading more.
