Walk

Down

The hallway.

 

Watch

Thunder

Strike.

 

Feel

Trembling

Beneath you.

 

Inhale

Through

Your skin.

 

Look behind you.

 

Your eyes

Unleash their vision.

They gape at the heat

That burns behind the walls.

They drip like glue

And fall out of your head.

 

Walk

Down

The hallway.

 

Watch

Birds

Shred.

 

Feel

Red

Viscosity.

 

Suck

Through

Your sores.

 

Look behind you.

 

Your mind

Cannot see you.

It bursts under arrows

That fly from the smoke.

It exists no longer.

And the last thing you see:

The mirror,

It shatters into dust.

 

Walk

Down

The hallway.

 

Fall

Under

Rage.

 

Look

Through

Your nostrils.

 

Stick

To

Your juice.

 

Look beneath yourself.

And sink

I don't know why...

But despite the fact that I could not understand this poem, I felt a chill run down my back.

Erupt

The hallway must be pretty long for this person to take this all in view. The person must be consumed with anger too. The mirror itself shatters. What volcano had erupted!
