i feel a knot in my stomach
weaved down from my brain
into my throat,
strangling my thoughts,
burning my words with its threads
into ashes.
it’s restrained the memory of me,
they took her hostage,
she’s gone on a hunger strike.
and as the fire within me ignites
and scorches the ropes,
the burnt jute builds up
and i’m choking.
The rope creaked like breaking wood as the meaty hands pulled on either side. Teeth gritting and cracking alongside the rope below, however the duet fell on deaf ears. He had only one thing in mind.
