Consumption
what scares me –
is that one day –
the roof will collapse
it will,
cave in completely
what scares me –
is not the fragility
but how long the roof remains
i always feel –
the drop is far too near
i always fear
that one day –
my problems will consume me
and there will be no way out
James Garratt – September 2017
