Release

Hot, thin air surrounding her body
too overwhelmed to take her next breath

the crickets come without warning
sounds, swarms

sweat drips down her nose hot, charged air surrounds her heart
fleeing through the thickets
looking for release

the pain comes with much warning
desire, need, Survival
lumps form in her throat
charged, volatile, ready
bring it, bring it, bring ......

release never comes
