Must be at least a thousand beats per minute now
Thump-thumping pumping
radically
As though it might explode.
Endorphins flying high on the
adrenaline
Reaching out emphatically
To take the overload.
Elongated light curves out
ahead of me
Bending back so I can see
Pursuers closing fast.
Reaching out with claws to
slash and tear my flesh,
Teeth to gnash and grind my
bones
To powdery repast.
Shifting all my power into
overdrive,
Find the means to stay alive,
Keep the bloody beast at bay.
No bold rescuer, no cavalry
Swooping in as savior. It’s
only me
Desperate to get away.
