at the end

a collapse an implosion
what sense of my self
remains as crumpled paper
or  crushed containers
I beg enough time
to look inward or outward
to bleed out or staunch
the flood onto the floor
each moment matters
the mundane and tense
adrenaline fueled turns
hold no difference
I am not a monolith
I am not your construct
