Snapped.

buckling, bucking, agony
the stairs take me back in time
against my will.
the pain is unbearable.
tied. passive twister.
beasts ravaging their slaughter
pushing, pulling, unaware or unconcerned with the rope and bungee tethers
lack of elasticity.
the human body can only take so much.
unlike the spirit
which can be broken
over
and
over
again.
trampled and torn
limbs disfigured.
A sudden H A L T.
the feast stops.
the beasts retreat.
too far. too risky for them.
lifted into the air.
returned to safety
my savior and my sufferer
protector of my prostitution
healer of this horrific hedonism
ice and a warm cloth of comfort await me in the back of the car
act two.
attention waits at home.
a new unknown variable.
am I deserving?
my head sinks in.
