The underbelly waits

 Succumbing  
In the dark    
tear drippings    
blacken these edges    
that cut deeply    
upon             Fixed    
                 Ripped
                Alienated
                 Years  
                  Ever
                   Despondent  
open                                
                              spaces
   
   
I RUN    
   
Hiding behind a tree, closing my eyes    
as screams wail, incessantly
loudly, from the forest breeze    
   
   
Eyes wide shut    
there seems to be more...    
light...    
promise, premise    
seeing this way, holding blight bay    
   
   
HOLD ON    
   
   
I have to
      it'scoming    
the presence    
   
   
Slithering down the back, sliding mind    
the ever present scream    
I swallow it back    
gagging upon the reflex    
to punch holes,    
in the fearful unknown    
   
Oil slick stains the street    
as I make rain bowed shapes    
turning them upside down    
treasure rains    
splashing the ground    
   
   
The underbelly waits    
   
   
And I crawl upon its hanging weight    
peeking out from behind my tree    
I look for the beam of light    
A blood red moon scrying    
fright, ominously stares    
whispering tree        
                      Leaves    
                     Ominously
                    Vested
                   Integrated
                  Needed
                 Giving
                Lavished    
               Yearnings
             touch back    
   
Promised    
   
Escaping the dark hollow
