Semiconscious

I'm going under again---
You're pulling me down the line
With hook-fingers in my eye sockets,
Dragging me over open land---
I can feel my feet
Breaking ripping shredding---

Let me go...
You're killing me---
A slow death
That may take years

Break it, damn it
Pull the nails from my hands
