Understanding the power
18 January 2026

Wires cross
in electric fence
The safeguards
at a loss
The blood thickening is dense
from multiple shards

I walk lanes
in darkest of wood
travel light
as I should
The pathway emblem of plight
the sum of my pains

Bloodied stains
Written over me
My feet halt
forcefully
I walk within my remains
sweating blood and salt

My mind rips
a corner of sky
drunk in sips
through my eye
I wage a battle crushing
wayward thoughts rushing

I hear sounds
a meaningful lie
flaunted clear
causing fear
The world tilting as I cry
racing the dark hounds

My heart sighs
misfortune habit
though from pit
new insight
understanding the power
never to cower
