Wretched Fate.

[rewiiired]

Wading in stagnant waters,
cradling tension in your skull,
you spy the sun peeking over the horizon
just passed the jagged teeth,
you wonder, Do I have the strength
to tread on at all? Can I ever hope
to escape this wretched fate?

Down it clamps again,
sensitive to your approach.
You feel the water rush.
Hear the howl of hunger echo around you.

Feel yourself become the arrow
let loose from the strained bow in your head.
Plowing on, you pierce within,
slicing through the meaty skin
of the beast that crept up and swallowed you
but couldn't digest the stone you'd become.

Long-awaited liberation.
You're fucking impervious to yourself
as you find as you stretch your teeth around the beast
who, once swallowed, you can't break down.

What a stone the beast's become.

I think that's beautiful. I keep reading it over and over to myself. Trying to deny it.
Amazing.

I liked this bit...and the imagery of the whole piece actually, it's really powerful.
