pangs of stillness that interrupt intricate wires engulfed in a stoic carcass emitting miasmas smothering the air and stillness is pierced with droplets cold and smeared with red hues like a sigh like a miracle because in that moment it's a miracle that i can even breathe albeit insufferable these anxieties are my best friend and together we're going to dig a crevasse that punctuates this mortified ice to the point where ceaseless beads fall free from the wounds in the sky a torrential downpour of misery floods my mouth and with this rain every circuit burns out faster than i can recollect the pieces of this broken water vein and while i promise you the defect's cadaveric metamorphosis is complete a slivered remnant of your conscious erodes with each incessant plea of this still-beating heart
