Into the Blue

Into the Blue Pain faded into the blue purplish clots pooling beneath welted skin interstitial fluids coalescing, coagulating, collecting swallowed tears. Day had broken the grasp opened the ever-locked door taunted the terrified incited the torment of acquiescence - silenced anger. No locks barred open doors chains hobbled only memory, fear’s straight jacket unbuckled. The blue faded, hidden beneath old lies, blanketed in the warmth of more colorful promises Destined to fade into the blue of pain. John G. Lawless 1/12/2016
