Leak
Inky fingers pried
my ribs open.
My heart lurched
loud
in ear.
Blink.
Liquid fills hands
pools over
as I try to
close chest.
Blink.
Choke.
Leak.
Pour.
Out.
Legs wobble
gait usteady.
Can't reach exit
blocked by contentment.
I witness
my own
witlessness
I'm dripping
on this
hardwood
Blink.
Feet slips
underneath.
Fall
on back
heart detach
rolls
across room
he picks it up
and eats it.
Blink
my
last
breath
I reach
the only time
I fight
for my
heart back
hands
fall
limp.
-Khadija Craddock c. 2014
