stretched

by Richard Trotter

The scorches from one gaze,
stinging flesh pulled like a cord,
the crumbling rope bridge of days
seconds of blue magic stored,
its lack of substance betrays
imagined freedom so flawed.

Author's Note: I know this is not very good, and when I read it back it feels like a string of unconnected images, but i posted it out of boredom.

One can feel the words themselves burning...
