bared teeth behind backs

by Rowan Luis

I'm living in a box
of woodlice and flies

of cold fires

with pinprick light
and no sound

a vacuum of inward breaths
but no out

Startling, claustrophobic, intriguing...

So tight is your verse. Really together and coherent. i.e. You make being distant from yourself seem the other way around. ha. Really enjoyed this.

the last line sends me underwater - the lines above weigh me down to the ocean floor. Nice write =)
