Ignite, Crackle and Spark

My skin thickens, weighs hard upon the chalky bones. Frustration dribbles between each crack, expands and holds. Glass eyes frost over, chipped on the surface all vision is blurred. Oxygen turns stale and knocks in a drunken stumble against the brain. She shines through the skull and highlights dust, dancing in swirls of recollection. Each particle spreads their wings, sheets of veins stitched to a sparkle. Welcomed breezes whisper reassurance, waltz with fading confidence. The thoughts begin to breathe again, ignite, crackle and spark.
