here, now

squeezed
between
moving walls,
to one last breath
of everything that was,
pushed,
shoved,
heaved across
the grooves
of a growing darkness,
where breath stops,
where dreams don't matter,,
where thoughts
freeze over hell,
where hope
stings every cell,
the cord is cut,
finally;
the womb is no longer home,
but a prison
without bars and walls;
seeding the faith
in Neverland,
here, now.
