United (2nd draft)
#1
Twisted metal bites down hard
manipulating & distorting the skin.
Man & machine merge Unnervingly.

Creating such sharp shapes.

Shapes that sit uneasy on the eye,
shapes that contort & quiver,
shapes that have consequence.

Lights flare, horns chorus,
the ground around moistens.
Refracting the blaze of lights
into the fractured eyes of passers by.
No fear in their sight
Just Pity,
Just sorrow.

The luminosity of the lights
draws closer, teasing, goading.
Promising a safety cushion.
Never the less, they pass
Seizing hope
leaving Clarity.

Amoungst the claret tears are lost
Asphyxiated beneath a sea of life.
A life belligerently fighting for
For
Escape.

Struggling to keep afloat...

Slowly succumbing to the numbness
Man & machine grunt & grind to a halt.
The burning of the lights
the static of voices,
Gradually grow fainter.

A haze settles in as acceptance is acknowledged.
The struggle is staggering to a close
Vivid images flutter by....
