One additional layer
meant to mold over and harden
the unsuspecting subconscious mind
of dense and layered cement,
somehow livid with live current;
made red with inorganic torment -
unaware but capable
of clinging, and wringing out thought
to stoke its glow, which never shone through.
Poured by a gentle spigot
painted peach: the first sensation
was one of bliss, which quickly soured.
Vain alarm struck at peak
of revelation, just before
my daylights surrendered to the dark;
I thought as I fell of when
a person may have stepped over
a crack, instead of filling it in.
