Poem - 3/6/2014

It seems as if the fates are sick 
of letting me find my way, 
as though the mask of control 
has been shattered and 
destiny is suffocating me.
The scars of stories slithering 
in my ears, ripping their way from 
the far reaches of my voice,
deep into the hollow stains of my eyes. 
The bright sharp snap of knowledge is pressing 
closer, whispering, heavy breathing and moist hisses.
It chuckles with a deep growl, 
mocking the candle of future reprieves. 
Could it swallow me up, softly holding me there, 
dripping heated screams
the color of lavender and cream

-Britny Musson
