Slow Rise

Dust reminiscent of smoke

Ascending when struck in stride

Head down..

Focused on the near

Wrote a dear John letter 

To the not to distant 

The low growl

Is capped with a vicious snarl

When the sleeping awakens

From the calm

Filters the distress

Settles the situation 

Sitting back into the comatose

Preposition that alienates

Into solitary confinement 

Of mind and body
