Captured and Forgotten
By hopeless
stuck.... in a whirlpool
....that does nothing but bring me down....
caught.... in this eclipse
....that has caused me to drown....
screaming.... into this black whole of darkness
....and yet no one can hear a sound....
cutting.... into shreds
....the threads of my life....
...then putting them back together again...
just..... like..... before
sinking.... into sand
....grains pulling at me....
a... thousand... souls
calling..... for release
falling..... into this crease
the broad valley.... created to hold everything...

I found the use of '...' in this poem quite interesting...felt as though the thoughts were dragging, some kind of weight, like chains linking the lines together uncomfortably, defining the theme of the poem. The image of 'grains pulling at me' is so striking, the sand itself pulling the self into uncountable shreds. Very evocative, feeling of inevitability. Thanks for writing :)

this one swept me away, with its feeling and structure, that last line was stunning
