Endure and Survive

Sullen, damaged
     a sheer gray lens
          yet bright
              a sting to the eye

A web
     binding
          squeezing
               sticking
Inhale
     shallow
          tight
               insufficient

Daylight, night
     blends
     admonishes
     shatters
          No rest
          No difference
               A tick-tock
                but what is time?

Dogged, steadfast
     a silent plea
          yet faithful
               a weapon in the fight
