The Blood & The Bones

i am

the explosion
in slow motion
firing pin
long gone
fingers pressed in
knuckles white
gripping the lever
self
preservation
prolonged
inevitably
fail
failure
failing
4 seconds
a lifetime
human incendiary
the bomb
that destroys

fucking everything
from clip

to detonation

my dash

my life

my reservation

ashes

embers

debris

gone

the blood
& the bones
