Obsession



Under the canopy of
Darkened serenity
In her dismal den
Lies she, munching life
To the core
And grunting the pain inward,
Oozing drop by drop
Into the jar
Obsessed with the gluttony
Of the clan.

Frailty presses her hard
From underneath her
But she strives to hold firm
Until the last drop;
The obsession under her
Grows and sprawls around
Like a savage wilderness
Over the wall and the window
That curtains the sun
From her world;
A small portion of life
Vibrates hard from deep down
Reminding her: she flowed once
But now she only oozes.
