Panicked Horror
you perceive
Mistake....
convulse
Cut the rope
Lay you down
seize tremor
vomit
Clear your airway
a single tear
Breath
1, 2, 3, 4, 5....30
Breath
1, 2, 3, 4, 5....30
Breath
1, 2, 3, 4, 5....30
Breathe!
breathe?
Flooding flashing lights pouring through the window
hands on my shoulder pull me back
Pulse?
No pulse, can't find one
holding me back
grabbing
pulling
Pitched whining
Clear!
Clear!
Clear!
???
Call it.
shove them off
Pick you up
as I look into your eyes
nothing left of your disguise
not even the tear
Etched on your face
transfused with my soul
that look " What have I done "
It's all I see
the one memory
of you I wish to throw away
wish I still saw
my brother who marched
fought
lived
laughed
with me.
