ELECTRIC

Air is electrified by you defiantly showing off the clash of spaces squeezing their life out but

you know nothing is worse than the

perpetual standoff so you rather freeze in perilous stalemate to torment poets drowning in the wordless ineffable soup of demons making themselves known

i can’t help myself because getting

swallowed by you makes a ghost weep makes a spirit quiver makes a robot bleed

so please lovingly devastingly achingly electrify me into a welcomed death
