Asphalt asphyxiation tell me is it hard to breathe with your head to the ground? running hard fast pulse what hunts you? what haunts you? if you stop to breathe, what will collide? what will implode. what are you holding so tight? red hands blue veins what are you keeping so tight lock and key you can keep running but I don't see you going anywhere. |

I have no critiques to offer. It's vague and quiet about itself, like a nightmare, and that's why it made me think of nightmares. I like the "what are you?" style, it adds a lot to the mystery. You're writing about something strange and foreign that is unknown to you but is at least worth your poetry. Reminds me a lot of Stephen Crane's poetry, and even a little of that Tom Waits song "What's he building in there?" Nicely written & looking forward to reading another one of yours. "To me, the thing that art does for life is to clean it, to strip it to form." |
