Return to Push

FORCE AGAINST

Force the blankets from my bed

Fill my soul with a familiar load

Force me, move me down the avenue

The dread in my mouth rattles its code

Force another move, force another change

Never pretend to like what I see

Will a title on the ultimate message

The landscape conceals from me

Questions wither and die, answers never heard

The hair shirt grows, one size fits all on my back

Self-preservation slays each day with a new dark word

When each new hour becomes a force against the last
