“Friendly Fire” I was writing when death came like the sound of clouds cracking open the sound like all 4 horses, hooves kicking in windows, stenographically speaking like a scream, my world shattered, the sound like wanton sirens piercing the unassuming quiet, my hands were on fire then, the keys melting into the nerve ending of it all as I punched holes in the air like some ticketmaster casually strolling aisles married to time racing petulantly on some runnaway train I passed windows that were not open with my belly in my throat I heard the whisper of it all the soft banter as I fell through the floors "you know", they say, "friendly fire, this has happened before" last thoughts as I tap it all out dancing through it all like a fountain nibbed sword I am my worst enemy but then, aren’t we all? (LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
