An ode to futility

Chilly brisk night

dry leafs CRUNCH and CRACK, twigs

BREAK and SNAP.....

Under the pressure

always exerting.

Warm spittle; breathing down my neck

NEVER letting me rest.

I HUFFED, I PUFFED!

Taking in cool air

RUNNING. FASTER! It never lets me get away.

Always STALKING

The more I try to evade

A QUICK LEAP it POUNCES, ambushing me

Just as I begin to give in --it lets me free?

Reminding me it's always near.

A day, a year, he'll come for me

Just as I learn to realize this...

BAM!

DARKNESS?

Nothingness...

Was it all... a dream?

Where did it start?

When did it stop?

Who will put flowers on my grave?
