Crawl

Shallow breath
Cold steel
Broken spine
Rusted wheels

If I had the strength

Shifting eyes
Rolling earth
Heaving lungs
Headed North

I would give you it all

Flaring nostrils
Stomach churning
Seizing limbs
Boiler burning

But this is too much

Numb hide
Howling whistle
Chuffing tar
Dead weight cripple

So I must let it crawl
