Tossed
Poem from The Blue Hour
Thrown in the fire,
I tossed my soul into agony’s
pit, begging for relief.
Tears drowned any attempt
at escape as I crawled
along the ground, fighting
life so death could erase
my pain. Neither won.
They tossed my soul
into the river and laughed
as my pride floated away.
