POEM (062) Suffocate

Suffocate

Trapped by the throat,
closed in the waterless moat,
stopped dead on the track
from what’s hidden in lack,
captured, caught, froze,
inside, hidden, enclose.

Full view, head lights, shocked,
living in life what’s mocked,
paranoia flooding the veins,
pulled in, halted, the reins,
stopped in the stare, unsure,
stop staring, shove off, no more.

Dazzled, and bemused and through,
closed, in the minds, clear hew,
the nested, corn, withdrew,
inside, cloudy, minds, adieu.

intentional, though, or at least some intent of the sort.
