A chance for renewal.

Nothing more than the suffocating presence lingers.

Let it consume you.

 

Leave it in gear

And let it strangle

Until you’re gasping for life,

Clawing at the hands wrapped around you.

 

It’s a new chance

For us to wait for the resumption of your new shape.

Let this mystifying limbo settle in and haunt.

 

Stifle your wants

And breathe your first breath.

Start the engine, keep it level

But let the subconscious wonder.

 

And just like he said,

Let there be light.
