DEAD ALIVE

DEAD ALIVE

Tightness in my chest
like a gorilla sitting on my body,
each breath gets more restrictive
like a constrictor python. . .
squeezing
Thousand stings of wasps and fire ants
erupt in my mind,
nerves explode
in a vicious display of fireworks
Distorting Pain
Pain as bright—hot like the sun ablaze
Blinding white, searing darkness
I’m Choking on air like its acid
Pain. . .
No more
I see in sharp gray. . .
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. . .
to be this way
my dying breath has given way to a painful life
I’m no longer dead
I’m alive?
