bleak boredom


immersed in a miasma
fragments of nothing floating 
untethered soaked in viscous thickness
choking passersby one by one 
each succumbing to the vastness of infinity 
all the while clawing in a vacuum to no avail 
attempting impossible escape from
the horrifying travails of bleak boredom and gasping breathlessness 
while they fall and they fall 
tossed to and fro colliding with one and other 
appending brute force to each hit and 
blood and silence always blood and silence
