Closing In

Folder: 
The Dark Side

Room,

twenty by twenty

swiftly shrinks

taking me along,

and inward.



Fifteen by fifteen,

air stiffles,

windows shatter,

panic, attacks

with a sinister vengence.



Ten by ten,

the shadows

lenghten and taunt

while they engulf

and smother.



Five by five,

no room to stretch,

too-long unfurled wings-

singed by hell's flickering fingers

in a death grasping.



One by One,

the seconds tick away,

taking along,

my very last

and final breath.
