Unyielding

Regurgitate…

There’s nothing left

Heave… High

Thump… Loud

Retch! Wretch

Retch

Nothing left to spew

Pause

Heave

Regurgitate

There is… emptiness to spew

Ebony blues

Purple hues

Poke and prick

No space is left

Continue

Day1, Day 2, Day 3

And on …and on … and on…

It goes

Unyielding journey

Unending

Chip

Chip away

The mind

The body

The soul

Till there’s nothing left

Emptiness to spew

Near or far

Distance

Makes no difference
