Samantha AnthonyIn the night, shivers start to flee through the surface.
The warmth in the atmosphere begins to boil as the surface cracks.
As the time pulses through the air, tension erupts, and the river floods.
Without a breath to grasp on to, the steam burns as the foundation begins to shake.
As the reins begin to tighten, the inner circle keeps closing up more and more.
Holding on piece by piece, time has its way when the doors will finally reach it’s course.
This is a powerful and evocative piece! The imagery of a cracking surface, flooding river, and tightening reins creates a palpable sense of tension and impending change. The language is rich and precise, building a dramatic and memorable scene. The concluding lines about time’s inevitable course add a layer of thoughtful reflection. Keep writing!
