The Reaper

Stairwell down:
My feet flow over steps
like roots in the ground,
stretching, seeking the safest path.

Creaking, groaning under
the weight of my dream:
The one where it finds me.
My throat closes still--

with the thought of its
grasp; I pull nothing away,
begging my voice to say...

"Jesus."
