A Chronology for Survival
Neurosis
The cycles they are clawing
Thrive
Wander, then starve
The cycles they are thawing
Dive
Wallow, then freeze
Silence
Ripping up through the cracks
The thriving of the doomed
Before the cleanse to dust
Rise
Run
Feed
Ripen
Wound
Wither
Fall
Rise again
Taking time
by the forelock
A chronology for survival
And a wretched end for the pathetic
