gravity takes me down
a life light a flickering beacon, of hope? i can't tell, there is an overcast a mist i can't see through. but my heart is pumping adrenaline firing in my veins, i'm running? i've lost feeling, i'mย stumbling (?) towards that flickering light. too busy trying not to be hit by overhanging branches, rotted stumps, obstructions.
