Light

I slipped on something red
Face first acquaintance with the ground
Poison ambrosia berries shining bright overhead
Tantalizingly out of reach,
just enough to muffle the demon
A blinding light that strains the eyes
Scorching flesh at it's caress
Like a kick in the stomach
forcing me back into the corner
Not meant for these arms
Forbidden to touch
Thieving my breath…
