ashes ashes.

pushing and pulling
never still
the walls are caving in
collapsing around you and i
leaving us exposed
to all that is
to be seen
heard
felt
we are prey
waiting to be
bitten
scratched
burned
frozen
ripped apart
and left as remains
no more breath
no more flowing of blood
except into the porous medium
below where we once stood
this world is tearing us apart
we fight
we try to hide
we do whatever we can
to stay alive
so far
though beaten
and broken
tomorrow came today
even when we knew
it would not
we were wrong
again
and i find myself singing
ashes
ashes
we all fall
down
...
