Concrete

Hate Permeates the air Confusion, stare and watch The fabric of the physical unraveling Reordered into an unadulterated nightmare Reality is bleeding out Why can I see this? Why can you see me? Why does this exist? Why am I alive? Undulating force of nature stands before me Reaching out, attempts to grasp prove successful Flash of searing pain unleashing on the nervous system Withdrawing my hold to find my hand is gone No blood, no remains, just a scatter of light It can flex? I can feel? All the tendons tightening Concrete, tangible, an avatar of permanence Recoil in shock, is this really happening? Why can I see this? Why can you see me? Why do I exist? Why are you alive? As I succumb to this Witnessing my body slowly fade away The immaterial manifest Wraps its twisting fingers around my neck
