“Get him!”
[It] hurt[s]
Out
Arms
Bounc[ing]
Left, right,
One, two
Alone
The ground
Again and again
Cut off
I saw it
the open.
Far away,
A shield,
Too far away
Broke
Only broke.
Cataloging the Detritus of my Life
“Get him!”
Alone
Cut off
I saw it
the open.
Far away,
A shield,
Too far away
Is alive.
Walk away?
Taste it?
The bombs and fire
That weigh [you] down.
Echoes
Muster fast.
Seconds left
And…
Armor[ed], [and]
Ring[ed],
Jumped,
Swarms bearing.
